Nicholas Zaharias (9G, 23A) leads the Kings in points coming into this evening's affair. He has 32.
TITANS (17-13-0-1)
A successful month of December helped push the Neepawa Titans well inside the MJHL's playoff picture to start 2026. Five wins in the month has put Neepawa in a tie for second with the Virden Oil Capitals.
The Kings will play 10 games in January. Neepawa's schedule is the same with 10 contests and it's split down the middle with five games on home ice and five on the road. After today the Titans are at home for three of their next four. They'll play games against Niverville, Winkler and Swan Valley at home in that set.
Special Teams have also helped with the Titans' recent success. Both their Power Play and Penalty Kill are inside the top half of the MJHL. Neepawa's Power Play is rated sixth at 23.2% while their Penalty Kill is 5th at 81%.
