That's now 29 goals in their last four games as the Dauphin Kings picked up their 26th win of the season on Tuesday night.
Making the short trip to the Centennial Arena to play the Stampeders, Dauphin scored two quick goals in the second period and while the Stampeders pushed, Dauphin never looked back and secured a 4-1 win.
After a scoreless first period, it took Dauphin just 14 seconds to score in the second as Ethan Williment delivered a perfect pass in front to Gabriel Bugeaud who scored his 10th of the season and just 2 minutes later, Gavin Nemis let go of a beautiful shot to score his ninth of the year, on the power play.
Ethan MacTavish trimmed the deficit to 2-1 after 40 minutes but that is as close as Swan Valley would get. Madden Murray gave Dauphin a 3-1 lead with his 13th of the season early in the third and into an empty net, Cayden Glover scored his league-leading 31st goal of the season to seal it.
With the win, the Kings are now 26-9-1 and are six points ahead of Northern Manitoba for first place in the West Division, with a game in hand. Dauphin hosts Virden for Ukrainian Night on Saturday evening.

It would have been a dream come true for Jaxon if he would have had a chance to play with his brother at the DRCSS.
While they never did get the chance to ball it out on the court, they support each other and Josh loves to watch his little brother live out his basketball dream with the Dauphin Clippers varsity boys team. Jaxon only started playing in grade eight and after being a practice player for the majority of his grade nine season, Jaxon took his game to the next level and earned consistent playing time in grade 10.
Standing 6'3" with an incredible work ethic and soft touch around the rim, Larocque decided to start playing the sport because his older brother did.
"I love how the game works and getting to go places and visit new gyms is exciting," said Larocque. "It's all about communication and running plays. I've made many lifelong friends and I am very happy that I decided to play."
Now in grade 11, Jaxon wasn’t sure what to expect heading into the season. As a rookie at the varsity level with just three years of experience, the odds were stacked against him if he wanted to make the team and earn playing time.
But Jaxon defied those odds. He not only made the squad—he’s become a key player in a season where the Clippers are absolutely dominating!
"I was very happy when I made the team," commented Larocque. "Being a part of this has made me so happy. Getting to see how hard everyone works. We have an incredible group and it means everything to me that I get a chance to be a part of it."
"From when I first started to now, I have gained so much confidence in my abilities," continued Larocque. "I felt lost on the court when I first started. I now believe I'm a key part of this team. I can make smart decisions and it helps that I'm playing with such a great group of guys."
Following the team's win on Saturday against Moose Lake, Larocque was named to the tournament's all-star team, alongside his teammate Parker Schau. Just like Jaxon had a great performance against Moose Lake, so did Schau scoring 27 points with eight assists and two steals. Nick Hudyma, who had a monster performance in the final with 40 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists was named the tournament's most valuable player.
"It felt amazing to be named to the all-star team, such a great feeling to achieve that," commented Larocque. "It shows that my hard work is paying off and that means a lot to me."
Dauphin has won eight of their 10 games this season and their success has not gone unnoticed. In the most recent power rankings from the Manitoba High School Athletics Association (MHSAA), the Clippers are the fifth-ranked 'AAA' team in Manitoba. Garden Valley, Neelin, Linden Christian, and St. James are the only teams ahead of the Clippers.
"That feels amazing. Knowing that we're on the leaderboard in and in the fifth spot is incredible for our group," ended Larocque. "We're going to keep pushing, we want to go higher and believe that we can."
Jaxon has plenty to be proud of and the future is bright on and off the court for the Dauphin star.
