2021 recruit Artem Schlaine scored his second USHL goal in Muskegon’s 6-4 win against Chicago Friday night. Earlier in the week, he had a goal and an assist in the Lumberjack's 8-6 loss to the NTDP U18s.  A 6’1” center who joined Muskegon for three games this week, Schlaine leads Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep in scoring. In the recent Cushing Invitational, he recorded a goal and two assists against Northwood Prep and then, with two tallies and three assists, he had a hand in all the Shattuck scoring in the 5-2 win against the tournament hosts.
