The second period saw neither team score but Dauphin controlled most of the frame.

The third period continued to be all Kings but a bad change early on allowed Selkirk to walk in on an odd man rush and tie things up. In the second half of the period Grady Hobbs (30) would use his hero card to get the Kings the go ahead goal.

Levi Mitchell was very good between the pipes. He stopped 29 of 31 shots while his team fired 47 on the Selkirk net.
