The London Knights scored a 7-6 overtime victory against the Sarnia Sting on Friday.

Cole Tymkin put the Knights in the lead with a goal 1:07 into the second frame, and Connor McMichael scored two back-to-back goals to extend their advantage to 5-2.  However, the Sting fought back in the latter half of the second to score twice and bring them within one goal.

Josh Nelson scored for London in early in the third, but Sarnia pushed the game into overtime by scoring two more goals of their own to tie the game at 6-6.

Liam Foudy scored the game-winner for the Knights three minutes into the extra frame.

Knights goaltender Joseph Raaymakers made 31 saves out of 37 shots on net.

The Knights will travel to Owen Sound on Saturday to take on the Attack at 7:30 p.m.
