Knights’ remarkable season continues
The London Knights have once again proven their dominance in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) by securing their 40th victory of the season. This milestone was achieved with a 3-1 win against the Peterborough Petes at Canada Life Place.
The Knights have consistently hit the 40-win mark, achieving this feat in 17 of the last 24 seasons, showcasing their long-standing excellence in junior hockey.
Game highlights and standout performances
In a match filled with excitement, Jared Woolley emerged as the hero for the Knights, scoring the game-winning goal during a short-handed two-on-one opportunity in the second period.
Woolley’s impressive play not only secured the lead for London but also marked his second goal in as many games. The Knights opened the scoring with a goal from Kasper Halttunen, who has been a standout player, netting his fourth goal in just six games.
The Petes managed to equalize with a goal from Colin Fitzgerald, but the Knights quickly regained control, thanks to Woolley’s skillful play.
Defensive battles and future matchups
Despite the Petes’ efforts, including a late shot from Easton Cowan that hit the post, the Knights’ defense held strong.
London outshot Peterborough 38-25 and maintained a solid performance on the penalty kill, as both teams struggled on the power play. Looking ahead, the Knights will face the Barrie Colts, a team they haven’t seen since an earlier thrilling comeback victory.
As the season progresses, both teams are expected to continue their strong performances, making for an exciting matchup.
