The Dauphin Kings surrendered the first goal of the game to the Swan Valley Stampeders. A cause for concern for the Kings, who were 0-6 when the opposing team scores first.
The Kings decided to skew that stat by using three goal first and third periods to scream to a 6-1 win.
Brandon Holtby was solid for the Kings in net, stopping 50 of 51 shots sent his way.
Chartrand kept at the top of the Kings scoring list by evening the score for the Kings. Exactly two minutes later the big man, Austin Douglas jumped up on the play and fired his first MJHL goal and game-winner off the post and in. Keaton Leininger scored the insurance goal for the Kings to leave the first with a 3-1 lead.
In the third Douglas scored again, and another defenseman decided to join in the party when Carson Romeril fired a blast from the point. Kyle Oleksiuk added his fourth goal of the season in the last minute of the game.
Douglas, Oleksiuk, Leininger, Hore, and Kochanski each had two point nights. Kochanski joined the Kings late last week, and now has 3 points in as many games.
The win breaks a four game skid for the Kings and puts them at 2-6 on the season. They're back in action Friday when they travel to Portage. Tune into CKDM at 7:20 for the Parkland Source for Sports Pregame Show with Sports Director Dane Nichol.
