Marner Leads Knights To Series Sweep

The London Knights are off to the third round of the OHL playoffs.

The Knights finished off a four-game sweep of the Rangers with a 6-4 win in Kitchener on Thursday night. Mitch Marner led the Knights with three goals, while Aaron Berisha, Cliff Pu and Jacob Graves added single goals.

Things didn't look for the Knights early, as Kitchener took a 3-0 lead in the second period. But London chipped away at the lead with second period goals from Berisha and Marner.

In the third, it was all Knights as they netted four unanswered goals including Marner's third of the game, an empty net goal at 18:23 to seal the 6-4 win.

The Knights will now face either the Erie Otters or the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the Western Conference finals.
