The Dauphin Kings put another good battle forth, but it wasn’t enough tonight in Winnipeg.
They lost to the Winnipeg Blues, 4-2.
Winnipeg opened the scoring late in the first period and led 1-0 after 20.
Wayde Johannesson tied it up for the Kings 5:32 into the second off a seeing eye shot from the point.
From there, Winnipeg scored two goals in just over a two minute span just halfway through the frame to take a 3-1 lead.
George King brought the Kings back within one with under two minutes left in the second, but that was it.
Winnipeg locked down defensively in the third and they scored an empty netter with just two seconds left.
Dauphin’s back at it on Tuesday. They head north to challenge OCN.
The Parkland Source for Sports pregame show goes at 6:45!
