The Dauphin Kings are set to play for a Manitoba Junior Hockey League championship.
The Ukrainian Sensation, Havryil Simchuk was the hero in overtime, as the Kings downed the Portage Terriers, 3-2, on Monday night. It was Simchuk's second goal of the game as he also opened the scoring in the first period.
Shortly after Simchuk opened the scoring, Portage scored back-to-back goals as Portage took a 2-1 lead, however, Ethan Williment scored 12:07 into the period to tie it.
No goals were scored in the second nor the third. Then in overtime, Ethan Stewart found a dashing Simchuk down the left wing and he did the rest, sending Dauphin to the championship series.
Cole Sheffield was incredible as he made 38 saves to steer Dauphin.
The Kings will open the final this weekend on home ice against the Northern Manitoba Blizzard.
