DAUPHIN, MB - The Dauphin Kings three game losing skid is over.

Daniel Helary (12) scored just under two minutes into overtime as the Dauphin Kings took out the Northern Manitoba Blizzard 5-4 Wednesday night.

In the opening period the Kings played well, but were only rewarded with one goal when Ash Mitchelmore tallied his third of the campaign with a nice shot off a 2-on-1 with Madden Murray.

The second period saw the Kings continue to play strong. This time they were rewarded with two goals. First it was Mitchelmore (4) with his second of the night. Then Madden Murray (6) notched  one on the man advantage to give Dauphin a 3-1 advantage. The Blizzard would score another to make it 3-2 after 40.

In the third period Dauphin's struggles on the Penalty Kill continued and they gave up their third on the PK Nicholas Zaharias (7) scored to give his team a 4-3 lead. The Blizzard would tie things up in the dying seconds, sending things to a fourth period.

In overtime Dauphin received a Power Play and made quick work of it, scoring just 17 seconds into it.

Shots were heavily in favour of Dauphin. They led them 61 to 28. Bryson Yaschyshyn stopped 24 of 28 shots in the win.

Power Plays finished with the Kings going 2 for 5. The Blizzard were 3 for 5.
