London Knights knock off Guelph Storm for their 3rd straight victory – London
William Nicholl scored twice and added an assist as the London Knights defeated the Guelph Storm 5-1 at Canada Life Place on Oct. 12, 2024.
The victory gave the Knights their third win in a row.
Nicholl had been denied twice on early rushes that saw him get the puck right to the Guelph net, only to be stopped by Storm goalie Brayden Gillespie but was rewarded at 17:47 of the first period when Cohen Bidgood got the puck into the Guelph crease and Nicholl got it across the goal line for a 1-0 London lead.
P.J. Fagan gave London a 2-0 lead with his first Ontario Hockey League goal. Fagan ripped a wrist shot past Gillespie at 6:34 of the second period.
Fagan then took a hit to make a play on London’s third goal. He absorbed a heavy check on the left side of the Storm zone but got the puck deep and it eventually wound up on the stick of Nicholl, who tried to feed it across the crease only to have it go off a Guelph defender and into the net. Fagan ended up leaving the game after the goal was scored and did not return.
In between, Storm first rounder Alex McLean scored on the power play as Guelph found an open spot in behind Owen Willmore and the score sat 3-1 in favour of the Knights through 40 minutes.
