London Knights defeat North Bay Battalion 4-1 to begin northern road trip – London


London Knights captain Denver Barkey and Knights defenceman Oliver Bonk each had a goal and an assist as London topped the North Bay Battalion 3-1 in North Bay on Jan. 23.

The Philadelphia Flyers prospects opened and closed the scoring for the Knights as London began a three-game road trip through the north.

Knights goaltender Austin Elliott improved to 19-0-0-0 in a London uniform.

Goals just 36 seconds apart got the scoring started and the second extended Easton Cowan’s point streak to 62 games.

After North Bay defender Kent Greer drained a wrist shot on a rebound as the puck bounced back to him inside the left point at 4:35 of the opening period Cowan carried across the Battalion blue line and slid a pass to Bonk in the slot and Bonk put the puck in the net.

Henry Brzustewicz put London ahead 2-1 at 15:52 of the first when he received a pass in the slot from Blake Montgomery and snapped a shot by Mike McIvor and into the North Bay net and London took a one-goal lead into the dressing room.

Sam Dickinson made it 3-1 for the Knights as he zoomed into the Battalion zone on a power play and ripped a shot off the left post and in for his 18th goal of the year.

The score stayed that way until Denver Barkey sealed things with an empty-netter in the final minute of the game.


London outshot North Bay 36-32.

The Knights were 1-for-7 on the power play and 4-for-4 on the penalty kill.
