LEEDS KNIGHTS extended their winning streak to eight games with a 7-1 demolition of NIHL National’s rock-bottom side, Bristol Pitbulls.

Oli Endicott and Owen Sobchak led the way with two goals apiece, with Finley Bradon, Innes Gallacher and Kieran Brown completing the rout.

The win ensured a maximum four-point return for the Knights having edged past the Pitbulls on the road the previous night courtesy of Matt Bissonnette’s overtime winner with just 15 seconds remaining.

It was the import forward’s second of the night with Brown, Gallacher and Cullen McLean also finding a way past Bristol goalie Will Kerlin.

Hull Seahawks also enjoyed a four-point weekend but, like Leeds, also required overtime on the road to achieve that against a dogged Romford Raiders.

Cody Monds was the hero of the hour for Matty Davies’s team, who found themselves trailing 2-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining through goals from Andrew Coxhead – at 30.24 on the power play – and Leo Bacallao at 41.00.

Canadian import Monds halved the deficit with his first of the night at 49.44 before hauling his team level just under five minutes later.

When overtime arrived, the Seahawks gained the upper-hand when Raiders’ Tjay Anderson was sent to the penalty box on a boarding call.

The subsequent power play was 67 seconds in when that man Monds provided the winning touch, handing the Seahawks two vital points in the preliminary stage of the National Cup and keeping them in the top four places ahead of completing their schedule against the Steeldogs and the Knights this weekend.

On Saturday, on home ice and with former goalie Jordan McLaughlin in net after returning on a two-way deal, the Seahawks got scoring from all over to see off a sustained threat from the Raiders before pulling off an 8-5 win.

Patrick Brown was first on the board at 11.15, before Johnny Corneil, Tommy Spraggon, Lee Bonner and Finlay Ulrick scored to give the hosts a 5-3 lead.

Owen Bruton increased the lead but after Romford quickly hit back to make it a one-goal game again through Barret Kirwin’s second of the night, it needed strikes from Emil Svec and Jack Musil to secure the points.

Sheffield Steeldogs got back to winning ways after last week’s 3-0 home defeat to leaders Milton Keynes Lightning when they eased to a 5-1 win over Sunday visitors Telford Tigers.

Dante Salituro capped a fine comeback for the Steeldogs in their only game of the weekend with two second-period goals, after Telford had taken a fifth-minute lead through Taylor Stanton.

Emil Oksanen levelled five minutes later before Jordan O’Brien – at 27.48 – and defenceman David Phillips scored within 21 seconds of each other to help the hosts forge a 3-1 lead.

Salituro increased the lead to three at 32.15 before adding his 19th of the season two minutes later.
