DAUPHIN, MB - A very good weekend has the Dauphin Kings needing just one point to clinch second in the MJHL's West Division.

In case you missed it last week the Kings won two of three games. They started the stretch with a 2-1 loss to Selkirk before rebounding and beating Waywayseecappo 4-3 in overtime and Virden 4-3 in regulation to close out the weekend.

The results put the Kings at 31-23-2-0 on the season. With 64 points they're five ahead of Waywayseecappo with one more game played. Dauphin needs just one point in two games this week to clinch second in the West Division.

This week the Kings have two games. They'll head north to The Pas on Tuesday to face the Northern Manitoba Blizzard (7:00pm) and then wrap things up on home ice on Saturday when they face off with the Winnipeg Blues.

Saturday's game is Awards and Rain Check Night and the 50/50 is already well over $2000.00 thanks to Fusion Credit Union!

Puck drop on Saturday is 7:00pm with Awards being handed out before, during and after the game!

THREE STARS

The Dauphin Kings Three Starts of the Week is presented by Parkland Source for Sports and local legend Dave Campbell. It's handed out at the end of the regular season and is based on a point system week-to-week. The Kings' final regular season game is Saturday March 14th vs. the Winnipeg Blues. This is also a Rain Check Night!

The point system works like this:

1st Star = 5 points
2nd Star = 3 points
3rd Star = 1 point

At the end of the season the player with the most points will win the trophy which, again, will be presented by Parkland Source for Sports!

Ash Mitchelmore was one of a few Kings that had a good weekend.

The Newfoundland product tallied a goal and two assists over the weekend for the Kings, helping them in their wins against Wayway and Virden.

In his last seven games Mitchelmore has three goals and six assists. He has 30 points on the season (10G, 20A).

Josh Schmidt scored two big goals for the Dauphin Kings over the weekend and added an assist.

On Friday Schmidt scored just 16 seconds into the third period in Waywayseecappo, setting the tone for what would be a come from behind win for the Dauphin. He then scored the opening goal in the Kings' 4-3 win in Virden on Saturday.

Schmidt has played well as of late with five points in his last six games (3G, 2A). He has 20 points on the year (8G, 12A).

Ethan Stewart has elevated his game at the perfect time of the season.

The Brandon forward picked up two goals and two assists last week for the Kings and scored the game winner in Dauphin's 4-3 OT win in Waywayseecappo on Friday.

Stewart comes into the final week of the season riding a 12 game point streak with eight goals and 12 assists in that span. He now leads Dauphin in points with 46 on the season (19G, 27A).
