For the second time in three games, the Dauphin Kings were shutout.
They were outmatched on Friday evening as the Northern Manitoba Blizzard extended their playoff winning streak to nine games as they beat the Kings, 4-0, in front of a massive crowd at Credit Union Place.
Dating back to the regular season, Dauphin has scored just once in the last nine periods against the Blizzard, who opened a one game to nothing series lead.
The Blizzard opened the scoring at the 10:32 mark of the first as Jack Linton scored his second goal of the playoffs and they never looked back. Esteban Cinq-Mars (1) gave the Blizzard a 2-0 lead after 40.
In the third period, Quincy Supprien (6) and Louis-Jacob Beauregard (2) also scored for Northern Manitoba. The Kings will look to respond on Sunday when they head to The Pas to play game two.
