Earlier, the two sides had traded goals back and forth. Brown, at 13.26 and then Baldwin with his first of the night 52 seconds later, put the Knights in control, only for Doug Sheppard’s team to level before the first break through Stead’s double-strike.

The visitors then went ahead through Dominik Gabaj, Barnes equalising before Josh Martin made it 4-3.

Brown’s milestone strike with the Knights shorthanded levelled matters again, before the Knights edged the third period.
