The London Knights have advanced to the final of the Memorial Cup.
Matthew Tkachuk scored twice and Mitch Marner had four assists as London downed the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 5-2 on Tuesday to earn their spot in the tournament’s championship game.
The Knights haven't lost since April 1 and have gone undefeated through round-robin play at the Memorial Cup.
JJ Piccinich, Christian Dvorak and Max Jones also scored for the Knights.
Marner’s four assists gives him a tournament-best 13 points in three games and leaves him three points off the Memorial Cup record set in 1982 by Jeff Larmer and matched in 1986 by Guy Rouleau.
The Knights now advance directly to the championship game Sunday at 4:30pm. The semifinal is Friday while, if needed, a tiebreaker game will be played Thursday. The outcome of the Red Deer-Brandon game will determine both.
