The Dauphin Kings have to wait another day to clinch a spot in the Turnbull Cup playoffs.

There isn't much to say other than it was an underwhelming performance for the Kings as they lost to one of the bottom teams in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) in the Swan Valley Stampeders, 4-2. The loss was even more shocking considering Dauphin beat the best team in the league in Winkler on Sunday night.

The Stampeders scored three goals in the third period to win the game while Dauphin failed to score in the third. Joey Kubas and Havyril Simchuk scored for Dauphin in the game.

The Kings outshot the Stampeders, 47-25, however, Rowan White played incredible for Swan Valley as they kept their playoff hopes alive. They're still 10 points back of the Virden Oil Capitals for the fourth and final playoff spot in the MGEU West Division.

Dauphin continues their four-game homestand on Friday when they welcome the Neepawa Titans to Credit Union Place, puck drop is at 7:30.
