The Knights responded with two goals in the second period to take the lead, and they would keep it for the rest of the game.
Mike Manzo struck first at 9:49 to tie the game, 1-1, with assists from Brian Smith and Jordan Strand.
1 minute and eight seconds later, Johnny Kaljian scored to put the Knights ahead, 2-1. Anthony Mastromonica tallied an assist on the second Knights goal.

The Knights return to action Wednesday, November 27, for a 2pm rematch against the Maine Nordiques at Androscoggin Bank Colisee.
