The London Knights secured a strong victory against the Windsor Spitfires, winning 6-2 in their final regular season home game on March 21.

His goal marked his 90th point of the season, making him one of the few OHL defensemen to reach that milestone since 1980. Windsor tied the game in the second period, but London quickly responded with two goals. Barkey scored after returning from an injury, and Halttunen added another during a power play. In the third period, Barkey scored his 25th goal of the season, and Halttunen capped the scoring with his 21st goal. The Knights had strong special teams, going 2-for-5 on power plays and successfully killing all four penalties. They outshot the Spitfires 47 to 32. Looking ahead, the Knights will start the playoffs on March 28 against either the Sarnia Sting or the Owen Sound Attack. Fans are encouraged to wear white for the games, with "Whiteout" shirts available at the Knights Armouries.
