Big first period helps London Knights knock off Sudbury Wolves 4-2

The London Knights secured a decisive 4-2 victory over the Sudbury Wolves, driven by a dominant first period performance from Cohen Bidgood.

In a recent matchup on February 22 at Canada Life Place, the London Knights showcased their strength with a dominant first period, leading them to a 4-2 victory over the Sudbury Wolves. Cohen Bidgood was the standout player, scoring two goals and adding an assist to his tally, marking an impressive streak of four goals and three assists over his last three games. The Knights established an early advantage, scoring four times in the first 20 minutes to set the tone for the rest of the game.

The game began with Bidgood scoring two goals, the first one assisted by Will Nicholl, which energized the Knights’ lineup. Shortly after his second goal, Jaxson Cover assisted Nicholl, extending the lead to 3-0. Cover's contributions were pivotal, as he not only assisted but displayed solid defensive skills by thwarting a Sudbury breakaway while also facilitating another scoring opportunity. The Knights capped off their first-period dominance with a goal from Braiden Clark, who netted a rebound just seconds before the intermission, closing the period with a commanding 4-0 lead.

In the second period, the Wolves fought back with a goal from their 2025 first-round pick Brayden Bennett, but it was not enough to turn the tide. While the Knights maintained their composure and kept their lead, their early goal deficit proved too substantial for the Wolves to overcome. This victory not only highlights the Knights' strong offensive capabilities but also sets them up favorably in their current season, showcasing Bidgood's rising prominence as a key player.
