Last Tuesday in a 4-0 loss to the Blizzard, the Dauphin Kings had just 15 shots and were heavily outplayed.
Seven days later, the Kings had 27 shots and were once again outplayed. Playing the final of a six-game season series against the Virden Oil Capitals on Tuesday, Dauphin struggled from start to finish as they could not get anything going in a 4-0 loss to the Oil Capitals.
The loss marks the second time in seven days that Dauphin has been shutout. Dauphin was solid on the penalty kill going 4-for-4; however, they did not score a power play goal across six chances.
The loss drops Dauphin to 34-16-1-1 and they remain four points behind the Blizzard for second place in the West Division, Dauphin has one game in hand.
The Oil Capitals inched closer to clinching first place in the West as they moved six points up the Blizzard and are 37-10-3-3.
The Kings are in Neepawa to play the Titans on Friday. I'll have the broadcast beginning at 7:15.
