Owen Sound Attack News Release


For the first time in the 2015-16 season, the Owen Sound Attack finished a weekend set without picking up a point.

The London Knights found a way to win the back end of a home and home with the Attack, downing Owen Sound 4-1 on Bears In Blue night at the Bayshore.

Knights' goaltender Brendan Burke picked up his first career OHL win by rurning aside 28 of 29 Owen Sound shots on the evening, while rookie forward Sam Miletic picked up two goals in the win.

While they didn't score as early as they did on Friday night, London drew first blood scoring with 13:35 having elapsed in the opening frame.

London rookie Sam Miletic would record his first career Ontario Hockey League goal, finding a way to get the puck past a sprawled out Michael McNiven to put the Knights up 1-0.

Miletic wouldn't stop there though. With just 2:44 having been played in the 2nd, Miletic elected to shoot on a 2-on-1 rush and found the back of the net through McNiven's five-hole, making it a 2-0 game.

Owen Sound would respond though, capitalizing on a Baywest Nissan Powerplay just halfway through the middle stanza to make it a 2-1 game.

With Liam Dunda parked in front of Knights' goalie Brendan Burke, Thomas Schemitsch would put a puck on net the bounced in the air. Positioned well, Dunda knocked in the rebound out of mid-air to bring the Attack within one. Assistant captain Bryson Cianfrone would also register a helper on the play, which came at 10:48 of the frame.

London would restore their two goal lead before the 2nd period expired though.
