London would regain its two-goal lead just 11 seconds into the third period as Sim would score his second of the game.
Easton Wainwright once again got the Sting back within a goal when he found the back of the net on the power play. That was his 5th of the season with Ruslan Karimov and James Barr getting the helpers.
However, the Knights only needed 37 seconds to get the two-goal lead back as Evan Van Gorp would score.
Easton Cowan, the reigning OHL Player of the Year, would add an empty netter to cap the scoring.
London outshot Sarnia 40-23 in the game. Sting goalie Nick Surzycia would make 35 saves, earning him 2nd star of the game.
