The Dauphin Kings modest three-game winning streak has been snapped.
Opening up a busy weekend that will see the team play three games in as many days, the 10-win Selkirk Steelers battled back on two occasions and downed the Dauphin Kings, 5-3. Dauphin led the game two different times but could not hold that lead as they lost their third game of the season.
Cayden Glover scored his 10th goal of the season just 30 seconds into the contest as Dauphin came out flying with that goal and a few big hits from Glover and Aiden Murray. Just before the 10 minute mark in the first frame, Landon Jamieson tied up the game. Then just 78 seconds into the second period, Gabriel Bugeaud scored to give Dauphin a 2-1 lead. Rohan Guevarra and Griffin Krone would score for Selkirk to take a 3-2 lead before Matthew Thomas (3) scored with just seven seconds left in the second as the game was tied at three after 40 minutes.
Owen Branson scored the game winner 92 seconds into the third and Owen Warnick iced the game with one second left.
Dauphin (7-3) will head to Winnipeg to play the Freeze on Saturday while Selkirk (11-2) will welcome the Northern Manitoba Blizzard on Saturday evening. Darnell Duff will broadcast Sunday's game from Winkler.
