London remains undefeated as Knights crush Saginaw 3-1 on home ice
The London Knights have taken a 2-0 series lead on the Saginaw Spirit in the OHL Western Conference Final after a 3-1 win Sunday.
Michael Simpson improved to a perfect 10-0 in the Knights goal during the playoffs, and the defence smothered the Spirit at Budweiser Gardens.
London held Saginaw to just four shots in the first period and just 18 overall as they held onto the 2-0 lead they built in the first period.
Ruslan Gazizov scored twice, including an empty netter, and Kasper Halttunen also scored as London remains undefeated in the 2024 postseason.
This 10-0 start to the playoffs is the best in franchise history during the internet era.
Game three goes Monday night at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Mich.
