Meantime, London remains three points behind the Greyhounds for the fourth seed in the conference playoffs after losing to Barrie and beating Sudbury over the weekend.
The London Knights are home to the Windsor Spitfires Friday night before road games in Brampton against the Steelheads and Kitchener Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
