Namestnikov (pictured) earned the primary assist on London’s final goal as the Knights beat the defending Memorial Cup finalists 6-3. Twins Matt (2+1) and Ryan (1+1) Rupert combined for five points on the night. They're eligible for next summer's draft. Despite a loss to Sarnia last game out the Knights maintained their No.1 CHL ranking this week.

London Knights 3 @ Sarnia Sting 4

C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-0-0, -1, 4 PIM (hooking, high sticking)
Season Totals: 10 GP, 6-4-10, +6, 12 PIM

Namestnikov was scoreless for his second straight game as London, the CHL’s top ranked team, fell in Sarnia to Steven Stamkos’s alma mater, 4-3. Likely 2012 top-3 pick Nail Yakupov had a goal – his seventh – and an assist for Sarnia. Devils pick Reid Boucher scored his 10th goal in nine games for Sarnia. Their goals erased a 3-2 third period lead for the Knights. The loss was only London’s second of the season. They continue to lead the league in goals with just over five a game.

Not much to get excited about Saturday night. One streak ends, one continues - but not the right one.

Moncton won their second in a row, though Lightning prospect Daniel Milan was ejected with about a minute to go in the game after a check to the head. A suspension is possible. Coyotes prospect and 2010 first rounder Brandon Gormley, a defenseman, had a hat trick for Moncton.

Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds 1 @ London Knights 4

C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 7 GP, 4-3-7, +2, 6 PIM

Namestnikov’s three-game goal scoring streak was stopped, but London got a 4-1 win over the Soo despite being outshot 41-35. Former Lightning prospect Brock Beukeboom, who played with the Greyhounds last season before getting injured and later had his rights traded to the St. Louis Blues in the Eric Brewer deal, was traded by the Soo to Niagara recently. He has yet to play a game this season.
