Kingston Frontenacs News Release
Scoring Summary:
1st Period
KGN 0, LDN 1
14:23 Blake Montgomery (3) - Sam Dickinson, Noah Read
The Knights would get on the board first after some extended pressure by the Frontenacs. London sat back and let the game come to them, which paid off with a goal from Blake Montgomery. Sam Dickinson found himself on a partial break and tried to put the puck between the five-hole of Mason Vaccari. The puck got through the five-hole but not over the red line, but it was sitting pretty for Montgomery who beat the Frontenacs defenders to it to get the game's opening goal.
KGN 1, LDN 1
18:36 Cedrick Guindon (15) - Emil Pieniniemi, Maleek McGowan
Kingston wouldn't let the disadvantage get to them for too long, as Cedrick Guindon responded for the black and gold. After a good couple of shifts in response to the London goal, Emil Pieniniemi found Guindon alone in the slot from behind the net and he fired home a one-timer that beat Austin Elliott to tie the game up.
2nd Period
KGN 1, LDN 2
5:40 Sam O'Reilly (7) - Oliver Bonk, Austin Elliott (PPG)
The Knights would take a lead off a great individual effort from Edmonton Oilers' first round pick Sam O'Reilly. Oliver Bonk chipped the puck up the boards to a streaking O'Reilly who beat his man wide and drove the net hard, placing a wrist shot over Vaccari's shoulder and right under the crossbar with pinpoint accuracy.
3rd Period

3:27 Tuomas Uronen (13) - Luke McNamara, Emil Pieniniemi
In a great shift by the Pickell, McNamara, Uronen line; it was the latter potting the tying goal early in the third. Luke McNamara circled the London net and fed a quick cross crease pass to Uronen for the tap in.

On a 5-on-4 man advantage, the Frontenacs and their 4th ranked powerplay would strike.

6:24 Blake Montgomery (4) - Landon Sim, Jesse Nurmi
Just 22 seconds after Gage Heyes' goal gave the Frontenacs the lead, the Knights tied it right back up. Blake Montgomery caught the Fronts defence slacking and found his way behind him just holding his foot back just enough to avoid the offside call. Landon Sim fed the puck to Montgomery for a tap-in to tie the game up at 3-3.
KGN 3, LDN 4
18:10 Evan Van Gorp (9) - Sam O'Reilly, Blake Montgomery
