Blake Montgomery and his London Knights teammates got to celebrate twice in Game 4 of their Western Conference semi-final series against the Erie Otters as Sam O’Reilly’s goal at 6:49 of OT gave London a 4-3 victory and a 4-0 win in the series.
London appeared to score an overtime winner just 2:32 into overtime when Kasper Halttunen fired a puck into the Erie net but after a long review it was ruled that the play was offside and the game continued.
Easton Cowan got deep into the Otters zone just over four minutes later and passed the puck in front through a defender where O’Reilly put it home to complete a second consecutive four-game sweep.
That goal went through another review as the Otters challenged for goaltender interference but after a much shorter review the goal stood and brought an end to the game and the series.
