Logan Hawery and Denver Barkey both scored twice as Blake Montgomery and his London Knights teammates powered to a 6-1 victory over the Sarnia Sting at Canada Life Place.
Montgomery and Sam O'Reilly also got on the scoresheet, each adding a goal and an assist, as the Knights cemented their position at the top of the Ontario Hockey League standings heading into the holiday break.
The Sting opened the scoring early, but London quickly responded to level the game. With the score tied at 1-1, Montgomery gave the Knights the lead with a power-play goal, his 10th of the season, late in the first period.
The Knights turned on the style in the second period, scoring twice in quick succession to extend their advantage. First, Montgomery showed some dazzling skill to create space in the Sarnia zone before setting up Barkey for a clinical finish. Just over a minute later, Hawery netted his first of the game to make it 4-1.
Barkey and Hawery added further goals in the third period to complete the rout.
The victory capped off a fantastic first half of the season for the high-flying Knights, who will be looking to maintain their impressive form when they return to action in the new year.
