The London Knights will be looking for a sweep on Tuesday after a 5-1 win over the Guelph Storm on Monday.
The Knights took a 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven OHL Western Conference quarter-final with Game 4 in Guelph on Tuesday.
The Knights scored all five goals on power plays as Corey Perry tallied his first two of the series, while adding two assists for seven points in the three games.
It could be the last days of the 2005 campaign for the Storm, who last year spoiled the Knights' party by beating them in the conference final after London finished first overall.
The Knights are already in this year's Memorial Cup as the host team for the May 21-29 tournament.
The game was marred by a slashing incident involving Perry and Guelph defenceman Ryan Pottruff. Pottruff delivered a two-handed whack on Perry as he broke in on net with six minutes left in the game. Perry saw the stick coming and shielded himself, taking the brunt of the blow on his right leg.
Linesman Kevin Hastings reported to referee Carman Cox, who in turn explained to Knights coach Dale Hunter that Hastings heard Storm coach Dave Barr say on the bench: "someone go out there and break someone's wrist."
Pottruff got a slashing major and automatic game misconduct and Barr was ejected. Both face disciplinary action.
Meanwhile, Mike Richards scored the game-winning goal 24 seconds into overtime in the Rangers' 4-3 playoff win over the Erie Otters on Monday.
Kitchener trails two games to one going into Tuesday night's Game 4 in Erie. Game 5 is Friday night in Kitchener.
Yikes, now that is just scary coaching and has no place in this game. I sure as heck hope the OHL throws the book at this coach.
