The Dauphin Kings stayed right where they were to start the week in the Canadian Junior Hockey League's (CJHL) Top 20 rankings.
Two more wins kept the Kings atop the West Division and they now have more room than ever over the Northern Manitoba Blizzard. Sitting 18-6-1, Dauphin has a six-point edge over the Blizzard for first in the division and Dauphin is just two points back of Steinbach for first overall.
Dauphin has won three straight games and four of their last five. They also have points in 12 of their last 14 games. Dauphin will play six games before the Christmas break, five of which come against teams near the league's top or battling for the playoffs.
Their next game is a big one as they head to The Pas on Tuesday to play the Blizzard. It's the first of three meetings between the two teams before the break. Dauphin hosts Steinbach on Saturday. That's followed by two more games against Norman, one against Waywayseecappo and one against Swan Valley.
Dauphin's first game after the break is on January 4 when the Winnipeg Blues come to town.
Steinbach jumped three spots in the ranking to sixth while Selkirk and Winkler are honourable mentions this week.
Glover El Fuego:
Cayden Glover is chasing down Cameron Bullinger for the MJHL scoring race and November was a big reason why.
The 20-year-old from Brandon had 10 goals and 16 points in 11 games for Dauphin last month. He had four multi-goal outings and recorded three points in a game on three occasions. Glover leads the league with 22 goals and his 32 points are tied for second, only behind Bullinger of Portage who leads the league with 34 points. Glover's 22 goals are five more than Adam Vigfusson who is second with 17 and Cayden's eight power-play goals are also the most in the league.
Possessing one of the best shots in the league, Cayden has goals in three straight and four of his last five games. He has four in his last three. Thanks to his hot play, Cayden has been named the league's Player of the Month.
Glover is on pace for 74 points which would smash his total from last year when he posted 48 points in 50 games with Dauphin.
