The London Knights extended their winning streak to four games with a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Saginaw Spirit at the Dow Event Center. The high-scoring affair was a showcase of offensive firepower, with Blake Montgomery netting his first Ontario Hockey League (OHL) goal in spectacular fashion.
Montgomery's memorable moment came in the opening period, as he kept the puck in at the blue line after teammate Sam Dickinson's stick snapped in half. With a burst of speed and skill, Montgomery danced around two defenders and slipped a backhand shot between the legs of Saginaw goaltender Andrew Oke, giving London a 1-0 lead. The goal also extended Dickinson's point streak to an impressive 13 games.
Dickinson, a prospect for the San Jose Sharks, was a force to be reckoned with all night, contributing a goal and five assists in a dominant performance. He orchestrated the Knights' offense with precision and showcased his defensive prowess in a game that featured a dazzling display of skill from both teams.
Despite being outshot 39-23, the Knights demonstrated their resilience and capitalized on their opportunities. London went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Saginaw converted 2 of their 5 power-play chances. The victory marked the Knights' 16th win in their last 17 games, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the OHL.
