The Kitchener Rangers saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with a hard-fought 2-1 loss to Blake Montgomery and his London Knights teammates on OA Appreciation Night at The Aud. The defeat also snapped a nine-game point streak for the Blueshirts, who now hold a 46-14-4-2 record with two games remaining in the regular season.
It was a chippy contest between the Midwest Division rivals, featuring seven penalties and two fights. Each period saw just one goal, with London striking first on the power play in the opening frame with Oliver Bonk scoring and Montgomery having the assist. Rangers captain Matthew Andonovski responded in the second, capitalizing on a man advantage with assists from Jakub Chromiak and Luca Romano to even the score. However, the Knights reclaimed the lead early in the third, netting the eventual game-winner just 4:29 into the period.
Andonovski’s tally marked his second goal and fourth point against London in six meetings this season. The game was the final regular-season matchup between the two teams in the 2024-25 campaign.
