DAUPHIN, MB - The Dauphin Kings fell flat in an important West Division game Monday, losing 4-1 to the Waywayseecappo Wolverines.

Dauphin would kill it off, but Waywayseecappo would score shortly after to make it 1-0. They'd take that lead into the intermission.

The middle frame saw the Kings once again fail to come out strong. They were scored on in the first two minutes to go down 2-0. Then Wayway would add another before the end of the first half of the period to make a 3-0 advantage. The Kings had some chances in the second half of the period but remained down 3-0 after 40.

In the third Dauphin couldn't find the net early despite continuing to out shot Waywayseecappo. The Kings again would get some chances as the period wore on and Dylan Miko would score his first goal as a Dauphin King, making it 3-1 late. It wasn't enough however as the Wolverines would add an empty netter to finish it off at 4-1.
