It was quite a homecoming Friday night for Spits centre Michael Clarke.
The London native had three goals and an assist, leading the Spits to a huge, 5-2 win over the Knights at the John Labatt Centre.
It was Windsor's first road win of the season. And it came at the expense of a previously undefeated London club ranked number one in the country.
Craig Duininck and Kerby Rychel had the other goals for the Spitfires (4-3-0-0). Rychel's was the game winner, his 7th of the year on his 17th year.
Jared Knight and Vlad Namestnikov had the London goals.
Jack Campbell was outstanding again in goal for the Spitfires, making 38 saves for his fourth win in as many starts this season.
The Spits are back at it Saturday night, when the Oshawa Generals visit the WFCU Centre. Gametime is 7:05.
