The Erie Otters defeated the London Knights on Wednesday
night by a score of 5-1 in front of 3,865 boisterous fans at the Erie Insurance
Center. This extended the Otters winning
streak to 11 games in a row, the longest such winning streak in the league currently.
Right Winger Alex Debrincat scored a goal and chipped in two assists, including
his 100th point of the season*, and Dylan Strome scored two goals
and added an assist to lead the way for the Otters. This game was never really
close as the Otters jumped to a quick 2-0 lead in the first and never looked
back while the Knights were only able to muster a lowly 17 shots on Otters
backup goaltender Joseph Murcado. Knights backup goaltender Tyler Johnson made
26 saves on 31 shots in the loss and defenseman Evan Bouchard had the lone
goal. The Otters will go on the road next to visit the Missisauga Steelheads on
Friday while the London Knights will be at home on Friday to host the Owen
Sound Attack.
*This was Debrincat's third straight 100 point season, he has not scored less than 101 points each season since entering the OHL in 2014-2015. He has had 104 and 101 points in his last two seasons and is on pace to blow past these numbers this season.
