LONDON, ON – KNIGHTS DEFEAT STORM 5-2 IN MIDWEST DIVISION MATCHUP

The Knights kept the momentum going, scoring twice in the final minute of the opening frame, with goals from Evan Van Gorp and Braiden Clark giving London a 3-0 lead through twenty minutes. 

 

In the second, Jaxon Cover found his own rebound and found Ryan Brown in the slot, who tallied his 20th of the season on a wide open net. 

 

Just 3 minutes later, Guelph came up with a response, as Mark Pape capitalized on a fortunate bounce off the back wall, cutting the deficit to three. 

 

Guelph struck again off the stick of Parker Snelgrove in the third, giving the Storm a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

 

The Knights responded however, as Jaxon Cover tallied his 3rd point of the game on a rebound goal, extending London’s lead back to three.
