Sam Dickinson and Landon Sim each scored their 20th goal of the season as the London Knights doubled up the Soo Greyhounds 6-3 in Sault Ste. Marie on Jan. 26.
Dickinson had a goal and two assists on the day. Sim, Cam Allen and Blake Montgomery each had a goal and an assist for the Knights who played the game without Easton Cowan and Denver Barkey.
Both Barkey and Cowan are listed as day-to-day.
The win gave London their third victory in four days. They defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-1 on Jan. 23 and the Knights won 5-2 in Sudbury on Jan. 24.
London goaltender Austin Elliott earned his 20th win of the season and is now 20-0-0-0 for the Knights.
The Knights overcame a tough start as they were short-handed five times in the opening period.
They spent a full two minutes defending against a Sault Ste. Marie 5-on-3 power play and killed it off.
That sparked some momentum for London and they took advantage as Cam Allen shot a puck on goal from the right side of the Greyhounds zone and Landon Sim banged in the rebound for his 20th goal of the season at 12:34 of the first.
Sault Ste. Marie made it 1-1 on a short-handed goal by Justin Cloutier just under five minutes later and the teams went to the second period tied.

The Greyhounds went ahead 2-1 on Cloutier’s second goal of the game but the Knights tied the game quickly just 1:05 later as Dickinson put a puck on goal and Allen snared the rebound and scored his 11th of the year.
That goal revved up London and they netted two more goals before the end of the middle period. First Jacob Julien skated across the blue line and gave the puck to Oliver Bonk who came flying into the Sault Ste. Marie zone, got to the net and beat Nolan Lalonde over the glove for a 3-2 Knights lead.
Dickinson then started a rush out of the London end and took a pass from Blake Montgomery across the Greyhound blue line and found Evan Van Gorp to the right of the Sault Ste. Marie net and the Watford, Ont., native banged in his third goal in two games and the Knights led 4-2 through 40 minutes.
Montgomery wired in a rebound from the slot in the third period for his 19th of the season and Dickinson potted his 20th after some hard work by Sam O’Reilly.
Kasper Halttunen added a late power-play goal after Chase Reid of the Greyhounds had scored to make it 6-3.
That ended the scoring and gave London their third win in three games against Sault Ste. Marie this year.
The Knights were 1-for-5 on the power play and a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
London outshot the Greyhounds 41-28.
In his past nine games, London defenceman Jared Woolley has a plus/minus rating of plus 18. That mark has rocketed Woolley to the top of the plus-minus list in the entire Ontario Hockey League at a plus-38.
After three games on the road through North Bay, Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, the Knights return home to Canada Life Place to host the Erie Otters on Friday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m.
London is 3-0 against the Otters this season.
