The MJHL's top team is still undefeated, though the Kings pushed them even closer to the edge than they did last Saturday. Ultimately Steinbach came out on top 3-2.

Brendan Arnold opened the scoring for the Kings at 8:58 on the power play receiving a pass from Gilbert Plains' Riese Gaber and tapping the puck by Pistons goaltender Roman Bengert, the goal was Arnold's first in the MJHL.

Steinbach answered back on the power play in the first period when Mackenzie Graham set up his brother Declan at 17:04 for the tie. It was the longest time Steinbach has trailed all year. 

There was no scoring in the second period and that was thanks to Kings goaltender Brandon Holtby who had at least four highlight reel saves in the frame to keep the game knotted at 1.

In the third period Kyle Oleksiuk found the back of the net, diving at a loose puck for his fifth goal of the season and restore the Kings lead. 

Oleksiuk was given hist fourth stick penalty of the game, and Darby Gula equalized for the Pistons on the power play with 1:32 left in the third, forcing overtime. 

Mackenzie Graham kept the Pistons undefeated title in tact scoring just 0:18 seconds into overtime on a play that the Kings are adamant was offside. 

The Kings are now 2-9-1 on the season, but have a chance at another two points against Steinbach Saturday night. Tune in at 7:20 for the Parkland Source for Sports pregame show with CKDM Sports Director Dane Nichol.
