The Dauphin Kings peppered Taye Timmerman with 43 shots, several of which were high-calibre opportunities.
Timmerman, who is only 17, shut the door as he made 42 saves in pushing the Blizzard to a 3-1 win over the Kings on Tuesday night. It was Northern Manitoba's first win against Dauphin this season after the Kings won the first two meetings in The Pas.
Matthew Thomas (9) opened the scoring 2:51 into the game as Dauphin dominated most of the game but it was the Blizzard that scored three straight and Timmerman did the rest.
Despite the loss, Dauphin (21-8-1) remains on top of the West Division by four points over the Blizzard and five over the Titans. After the Blizzard play against Neepawa this weekend, the Kings will have five games in hand on them and four on the Titans.
The Kings will return to the ice on January 4 when the Winnipeg Blues come to town.
