DAUPHIN, MB - The Dauphin Kings will try to close out their first round playoff series with the Wolverines in Waywayseecappo tonight when they play game four of the best-of-seven series.
The fourth win is always the hardest to get in a series and there's no exceptions tonight as the Kings play as the visitors.
Dauphin is up 3-0 in the series after Gavin Nemis potted the game winner Tuesday night at Credit Union Place in the Kings' 3-2 overtime victory.
Opening face off from Waywayseecappo is slated for 7:30pm!

TONIGHT'S MATCH UP
For the third straight contest the Kings and Wolverines battled to a scoreless opening period on Tuesday and that's been the case throughout the meetings so far.
Dauphin did score first on Tuesday, something they hadn't done yet in the series. Gavin Nemis remains the hero on the Kings' side but it's been Mariko Bercier on the Wolverines' side. The rookie goaltender has no doubt given Wayway fans a reason to be excited for the future as he has clearly been their best player throughout this series.
The Kings can't complain much about how they've played so far. They've controlled things since the opening puck drop of the series and have out shot Waywayseecappo 121 to 74 through three games.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Special Teams, for the most part, continue to be a non factor in this series. Waywayseecappo did score the first Power Play goal of the set. Dauphin has yet to score on the man advantage and are 0 for 10. Wayway is now 1 for 9.
LEADING SCORERS
With three game winning goals Gavin Nemis is the Kings leading scorer coming into this evening's affair. Nemis has five points. Ethan Williment, who has also been very solid so far this post season, has five points as well, all of them are assists. After that Cayden Glover (2G, 2A) has four and Matthew Thomas (2G, 1A) sits with three.
Waywayseecappo, meanwhile, will need to find more ways to score if they are to extend the series. That might be difficult considering Cole Sheffield is at the other end of the ice. Leading the Wolverines in scoring are Sebastian Stone (2G), Sebastien Hicks (2A) and Rhett Perrin (2A) all with two points.
