Two points from Sam O'Reilly, Denver Barkey and Easton Cowan helped the London Knights defeat Moose Jaw 5-4 on May 27.
The Warriors kicked off the scoring just 3:39 into the game on a goal by Denton Mateychuk that highlighted a furious start by Moose Jaw.
He went behind the Warriors net and got a piece of a puck that then trickled to the side of the Moose Jaw net where the soft hands of Jacob Julien slipped a pass across the crease to Gazizov coming around the far post and Gazizov scored his third goal of the tournament to tie the game at 11:58. O’Reilly then fed Landon Sim on a two-on-one and he scored just as a London penalty came to an end. The goal goes into the books at even strength and the Knights had their largest lead of the game.London stretched that lead to 5-2 on a power play goal by Kasper Halttunen, but exactly six seconds later Semeniuk scored his second of the game as he slapped a shot from outside the blue line that knuckled into the Knight net.
London held from there and picked up their second victory that creates some very simple math at this year’s tournament.
