The Knights doubled their lead with another pair of unanswered goals in the middle segment. Evan Bouchard added his goal at 9:16, and Liam Foudy's over six minutes later made it 4-0 London. Kitchener got on the board with 27 seconds left in the period with a power play goal by Alexey Lipanov.
Nathan Dunkley added a goal in the third period for good measure.
