Just like they were against the Swan Valley Tigers, the Dauphin Clippers are on the brink of elimination.
They won two straight games against the Tigers and will now have to do it against the powerhouse Vincent Massey Vikings, who have now won 39 straight games in league play. A 40th would give them a league championship.
The Clippers pushed the Vikings on Tuesday, however, it wasn't to be. The Vikings took a one game to nothing lead in the best-of-seven with an 8-5 win at the J&G Homes Arena.
Layne Wolfenden, Ethan Carnegie, Julien Lopez, Cody Zurba, and Ronin Mouck all scored a goal for Dauphin in the defeat.
Dauphin will return to the friendly confines of Credit Union Place on Wednesday to host game two. That will be a must-win game for Dauphin.
