The Dauphin Kings and Virden Oil Capitals combined for 8 goals through the first twenty minutes of play in Dauphin's 5-4 win Saturday in Virden.
Special teams were key for the Kings in the first, scoring 3 of their five goals with the man, sometimes two-man, advantage. The Kings finished 3 for 5 on the PP, while Virden was 2 for 4.
The Kings raced out of the gate, scoring 4 goals before the first was even halfway done, chasing Oil Caps tender Riley McVeigh from the net in the process, who allowed 4 goals on 6 shots.
Despite scoring 5 goals on 10 shots in the first, and adding another 21 in the second, the Kings could not find the net again on the night. In the third period they were really on their heels, throwing only 3 shots on net while Virden sent 14 the King's way and added a goal. Despite being outplayed in the third the Kings hung on for the Victory.
The Kings snapped a four game losing skid, dating back to February 1st, to earn their first win of the month. They're back to within 4 points of the Swan Valley Stampeders, and four ahead of Neepawa once again. Both Swan and Neepawa were idle tonight.
The Kings are back on home ice Sunday to host the Selkirk Steelers at 6:00pm at CUP.

Dauphin fans were finally able to breathe at the end of the third period after a bizarre 60 minutes of hockey between the Clippers and Major Pratt Trojans. The Clippers won 7-5 and solidified their position in the playoffs with the victory.
The Clippers scored 5 consecutive goals to give themselves a comfortable lead, but Major Pratt showed a lot of fight in a comeback attempt including a short handed marker when Dauphin had a two man advantage in the last minute of the second period. They scored again 25 second into the third to make it 6-4, but that's as close as the Clippers Parkland rival would get.
The Clippers host the Boissevain Broncos in their regular season finale Saturday at 4:00. Dauphin can still improve their position in the standings finishing as high as 6th.
