LONDON, Ontario – The Erie Otters rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the London Knights in a shootout Friday night, earning a 4-3 victory.
London scored twice in the first period to take a 2-0 lead, but Erie responded in the second. Mclean Agrette scored on the power play to cut the deficit to one, and Gairin Michalski followed with his first goal of the season and first in the Ontario Hockey League to tie the game at 2-2.

Erie outshot London 34-31.
