It's time to bounce back for the Dauphin Kings.
Coming off two straight losses, the club rolls into Bell MTS Iceplex this evening to challenge the Winnipeg Blues.
In the first meeting between the clubs, the Kings came back from a 2-0 deficit to pick up two points in a 4-2 win.
Last night, Dauphin also led by two goals but ended up falling to Selkirk.
A win tonight could perhaps be a small leap in what the Kings hope to be their first extended winning streak of the season. After this evening's contest, the Kings will stay on the road for two more games. They'll take on OCN on Tuesday and Waywayseecappo on Friday before returning home on Saturday.
If Dauphin wants to have success tonight, they'll need to crash the net more often. On Riley Buller's goal last night he crashed the net, but other than that, the Kings failed to really crash the paint.
The Kings will also look to sharpen things up on the powerplay. After going 6-13 in their three previous games heading into last night, the club failed to record a PP goal which included a 6 on 4 late in the game. Dauphin finished 0-4 on the night.
Whatever happens, you can hear it all right here on 730CKDM. The Parkland Source for Sports pregame show hits the airwaves at 6:45. Puck drop is 7:00 p.m.
