In an intense overtime battle, the London Knights defeated the Erie Otters 4-3, eliminating them from the Ontario Hockey League playoffs with a four-game sweep in the Western Conference semifinal. Sam O’Reilly’s tip-in goal ended the Otters’ season after a challenge negated an earlier Knights goal for offsides. Despite 46 saves from Erie goaltender Charlie Burns and strong performances from Pano Fimis and Sam Alfano, the Otters were unable to secure a win, concluding their 2024-25 campaign.
