Overtime was friendly to the Dauphin Kings on Sunday when Joshua Schmidt scored to put the Kings up two games to nothing in their best-of-seven series against the Blizzard.
The Kings dropped game three and on Thursday night, it was double overtime heartbreak for the home team. The Kings turned over the puck behind their own net just more than four minutes into double overtime and Miguel Bouvier made the Kings pay dearly as he beat Cole Sheffield over the glove to give the Blizzard a 2-1 win.
In another outstanding game between these two West Division rivals, it was the Kings who opened up the scoring as Logan Walker scored his first of the playoffs 7:45 into the second period. Riley See would bat in a loose puck in front of the net early in the third to tie the game at one and overtime was needed.
Ultimately, double overtime was needed and Bouvier was able to seal this game. With the win, the Blizzard tied the series at two games apiece.
Game five will be Saturday night in The Pas and Darnell Duff will have the call.
