PLAYOFF TRACKER: London Knights beat Moncton, advance to Memorial Cup Final
The London Knights will have a chance at Memorial Cup redemption on Sunday after beating the Moncton Wildcats The London Knights will have a chance at Memorial Cup redemption on Sunday after beating the Moncton Wildcats The London Knights will have a chance at Memorial Cup redemption on Sunday after beating the Moncton Wildcats in the tournament's semi-final Friday night in Rimouski, QC. Knights forward Blake Montgomery broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period before Jesse Nurmi added an insurance goal midway through the frame, and Easton Cowan sealed it with an empty-netter, helping London to a 5-2 win over the QMJHL champions. 'All around, I thought that was our best game of the tournament so far,' Cowan said. 'We had a really good first, kind of laid back in the second, but our third was probably our best period of the tournament so far. We had everyone scoring today, got lots of depth, and it was a huge win for us.' The victory sets up a rematch of the Knights' final group stage game against the WHL champions, the Medicine Hat Tigers. The Tigers went undefeated in the opening round, earning a bye to Sunday's final. 'We know we had a tough opponent on the other side, national championship semifinal,' shared Moncton goalie Dyllan Gill post-game. 'It's heartbreaking, and I think every guy in our room is going to have a little bit of regret and what if in their head, but ultimately super proud of the group.' London became the first CHL team since the 2010 Windsor Spitfires to qualify for back-to-back Memorial Cup Finals. They lost the 2024 championship game to last year's tournaments hosts, the Saginaw Spirit. 'It means everything,' the Knights' Landon Sim said. 'We were playing for this all year to get back in that game.'

Flames Prospect Morin Dazzles in Memorial Cup Debut Despite Moncton Loss
Calgary prospect Etienne Morin put on a show despite his Moncton Wildcats being defeated 3-2 in OT by the OHL champions London Knights on Saturday evening. Morin opened the scoring for the QMJHL champions when he skated to the point and sniped a wrister into the back of the net 6:59 into the game, breaking his stick in the process and leveling the game 1-1. The Quebec native made his presence felt more than just on the stats box. He was important in the first penalty-kill making a poke check on London's Sam Dickinson. In the second Moncton power play, while he didn't score any points, he got his stick in the passing lane of London's Denver Barkley that would've certainly led to a goal during a 2v2 short-handed rush. In a twist, it was actually Morin's teammate Dyllan Gill who would later score on the power play and tie the game 2-2. He later broke his stick again while using it to block a shot of the Knights' Sam O'Reilly, severely weakening the shot and allowing his goalie Mathis Rousseau to make the save with 5:07 left in regulation. Ultimately, the Wildcats fell in overtime 3-2 as O'Reilly scored his second goal 4:23 into the fourth. Morin and Moncton will continue their quest for the Memorial Cup when they face fellow Flames prospect Andrew Basha and the WHL champions Medicine Hat Tigers on Monday at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT.
