DAUPHIN, MB - The Dauphin Kings will look to respond on home ice tonight when they host the Portage Terriers for game six of their best-of-seven MJHL Semi Final Series.

The Kings still hold the 3-2 advantage in the set and a victory tonight will send them to the MJHL Final against the Northern Manitoba Blizzard. A loss and they'll head back to Portage for game seven on Wednesday.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Special Teams were once again a factor in Saturday's game five. This time it was the Terriers picking up a goal on the man advantage. Dauphin, meanwhile, did not score on three attempts. The Kings' Special Teams have been very good on home ice in the playoffs. Their Power Play sits at a very strong 33.3% while on the Penalty Kill they are at 77.8% at Credit Union Place.

LEADING SCORERS
Nothing changed for the Kings when it came to their leading scorers in the playoffs, obviously.

Right behind him is D-man Matthew Thomas with five goals and four assists for nine points. Dauphin has seven players with six or more points coming into this evening's affair.
