The Kings would take their 2-0 lead into the middle frame and build on it when Baron Thompson (20) was treated to a penalty shot which he snapped home midway through the period.
In the third Dauphin continued their solid play, but OCN would be given some power play time and score to make the affair 3-1. However, that's as close as they would get. Avery Smith (11) would add an empty netter to finish things off.
Another strong effort from Kings goalie Levi Mitchell. He turned 25 of 26 shots away. His time pushed 38 on the OCN goal.
