It took nearly half the game for someone to change that. Marcus Nordmark, who recently returned from Anaheim Ducks’ training camp, opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, and his first career OHL goal. The Battalion’s Evgeny Dubrovtsev managed to even the score, entering the third tied 1-1. Less than a minute into the period, North Bay slipped up on a defensive change and gave Thomas Zocco an opening, putting London back in the lead with the momentum they needed. Jaxon Cover got a goal in his first game back from Ottawa Senators camp, joining Nordmark with another first of the season.

NORTH BAY, Ont. — The North Bay Battalion opens its first multigame road trip of the Ontario Hockey League season when it visits the Windsor Spitfires at 7:05 p.m. Thursday. It’s the first of three games in an many days, with dates Friday night with the London Knights and Saturday with the Brantford Bulldogs. Battalion coach Ryan Oulahen said Tuesday that the early-season trek is valuable in terms of team bonding, as always believed by Brian Kilrea, onetime general manager and coach of the Ottawa 67’s. In the days when GMs negotiated schedules among themselves at a summer meeting, the legendary Kilrea was known to start the season with a three- or four-game road trip. “He didn’t care about the wins and losses,” noted Oulahen. “He just wanted the team to get on the road and bond and be together and be on the bus and have meals and all that.” The heavy schedule didn’t appear to faze Oulahen, who suggested the Troops, with a won-lost-extended record of 2-2-0 in the young season, are

HIGHLIGHTS | Knights vs Attack | 9/25 -
For the second consecutive weekend, the Knights are undefeated. After leaving the first period trailing 1-0, Evan Van Gorp got London on the board early in the second with his third goal of the season. Owen Sound got the upper hand with a 5-on-3 penalty kill to put the Attack back in front. Kicking the game into high gear, Cooper McAslan made it a tie game once again, scoring his third goal of the season. In just over three minutes, Eloan Le Gallic gave London a lead with his second goal of the season, Carson Harmer followed with his first as a Knight, before Cohen Bidgood added another on the power play. Safe to say the Knights made up for a scoreless first period. And goals weren't the only thing getting the crowd buzzing. Maksim Sokolovskii continued to prove he is a force to be reckoned with in his first season as a Knight. The Philadelphia Flyers first-round pick came out early with a massive hit, and later dropped the gloves with Owen Sound's Julian Brown. At a staggering 6
