Mitch Marner had a hat-trick and Tyler Parsons made 30 saves, as the Knights outlasted the Spitfires in a 4-3 win Saturday night at the WFCU Centre. Marner's fifth and sixth of the season staked London (8-6-0-0) to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, before Chandler Yakimowicz (5) made it a 3-0 game at the 8:18 mark of the second.

Windsor (5-8-0-1) got a spark in the form of two goals in a 21-second span from veteran winger Chris Marchese just a couple minutes later. The 20-year-old first converted a Josh Ho-Sang (2A) feed, beating Parsons five-hole for his seventh of the year to make it 3-1, before making good on a Markus Soberg pass off the ensuing faceoff, cutting the London lead to one.

Trevor Murphy briefly knotted the game at 13:11, before Marner completed his first Ontario Hockey League hat-trick, at 15:27, for the eventual game winner. The win was London's sixth straight, while the loss snapped a modest, two-game streak for the home side.

The Spits wrap up their current four-game homestand Thursday night against Owen Sound (7:05), before a return engagement with the Knights in London Friday, November 7th, and their final trip of the season to Owen Sound the next night.
