But the Knights managed to mount a late comeback, scoring four goals in the third period to force overtime.
Kasper Halttunen had another hat trick with Oliver Bonk also scoring once while having three assists and Easton Cowan also adding three assists.
But it was rookie defenceman Henry Brzustewicz who scored two minutes into overtime, making the final score 7-6 Knights.
