TONIGHT'S MATCH UP
The journey begins for both the Kings and Wolverines tonight.
For Dauphin there is once again hope for a long post season run that takes them deep into April. For Waywayseecappo, the Wolverines will be driven to bounce back after losing to the Kings in five games last spring. In 2025 the Wolverines snuck into the playoffs on the second to last day of the regular season. This year they were clearly in the post season since January.
The Kings, meanwhile, had a turbulent January but have responded since early February. Since February 6th the Kings are 10-3-1-0, including 5-1-0-0 on home ice. They enter the post season on a four game winning streak.
