Sunday night saw the return leg against Swindon at sunny Streatham. The game started off with another tense and cagey first 2 periods, the Statesmen had 3 lines and couldnt really get off to the start we had on the Friday night. the scoring was opened by James (1st of 4 for the night) and a powerplay goal to boot (1 of 2 which is highly unusual) after 10 mins, only for the Knights to score a minute later with Robin Littlewoods 1st of a natural hat trick which wrapped up the scoring for the 1st period.
The second started off much the same with the Knights scoring after 4 mins only for the Statesmen to get 1 back a minute later, then the Knights scored again after a couple of mins only for the Statesmen to score the second PP goal scored by Ty a couple of mins later, that wrapped up the 2nd period with the scores tied at 3-3.
Like last Friday the Statesmen started the 3rd a lot livelier and a goal from Lukas after 7 mins, only for the Knights to even it up again a couple of mins later. Then the Statesmen seemed to pick it up and scored 3 goals in 1min 10 secs of the 3rd to take a commanding lead and with a late goal from James and 1 in the last minute from the Knights Geoff Collins that wrapped up the game and see the Statesmen win 8-5.
