The London Knights are a creaky-roller coaster right now.

They blew an early two-goal lead and then surrendered another tying goal with just 3:53 left in regulation in a 4-3 shootout loss to the pesky Erie Otters before 9,061 Friday at Canada Life Place.

“We’re closing in on the (10-game mark) already,” London assistant coach Rick Steadman said. “You need to get this figured out so we’re putting guys in the right spot. The lines were all over the place. Guys deserved to play and guys deserved to rest for a bit. Everyone gets their chance.
