Road Losses Mount

The Sudbury Wolves dropped their sixth straight game on the road on Friday losing 4-1 to the defending OHL Champions London Knights.   The Knights got off to a quick start and jumped out to a 2-0 lead by the four minute mark of the game. The Knights went on to outshoot the Wolves 17-12 in the first period on the strength of three consecutive power plays. The Wolves started to take over in the second period and outshot the Knights 18-12 but the Wolves ran into another hot goaltender by the name of Jake Patterson.  The Wolves kept the pressure on in the 3rd period but a goal at the 25 second mark of the third period proved to be all the scoring that the Knights needed.  The Knights had a 4-0 lead by the midway mark of the third period before BRODY SILK broke Patterson’s shut-out with a goal with less than eight minutes left in the game.  Shots on goal in the third period were 12-7 in favour of the Wolves.  Overall the Wolves outshot the Knights 42-37.  The Wolves were 0 for 2 on the power play while the Knights were 0 for 3 with the man advantage.  JOEL VIENNEAU took the loss in goal for the Wolves.  The Wolves travel to Sarnia on Sunday for a matinee game against the red-hot Sting who have won three games in a row.
