Landon Simm scored twice and Alexei Medvedev made 32 saves as the London Knights beat the Guelph Storm 6-0 on January 17 at Canada Life Place.
The victory moved London two points ahead of the Windsor Spitfires and back into first place overall in the Ontario Hockey League standings.
The Knights have gone 29-2-1 since Oct. 20.
A pair of breakaway saves by Medvedev kept the game scoreless early on, with Medvedev’s second save leading to the game’s first goal.
Jacob Julian grabbed the rebound and got the puck to Kasper Haltunen inside the Storm zone, and the San Jose Sharks second-round pick put it past Guelph goalie Collin Ellsworth for his third goal of the year, 1-0. Lead for 20 minutes.
That goal came with the teams skating 4-on-4.
So did the next two.
London scored twice just 42 seconds apart in the second period as Jared Woolley drove from the right point, drove toward the net and flicked a backhand off the far post to give the Knights a 2-0 lead. Easton Cowan then set up Sam Dickinson to stretch London’s lead to three goals.
