The Dauphin Kings earned perhaps their most dominant win of the season Friday with a 6-0 thromping of the Neepawa Natives.
Brandon Holtby earned his second shutout of 2017 and the second of his Junior A career with a 35 save performance. The Kings have yet to allow a goal against at Credit Union Place in 2017. Holtby was helped out by special teams. The Kings killed off two 5-on-3 scenarios, and also an incredibly rare full 9 minute power play.
Keaton Leininger had a hat trick, his second in a week after recording one on Sunday in Portage. Riese Gaber has assisted on 5 of those 6 Leininger goals.
Darren Gisti, Grady Hobbs, and Ian Briscoe also scored for the Kings in the win.
The Kings power play was firing on all cylinders, making good on 4 of their 6 opportunities.
The Kings now have some time off to enjoy with family at tomorrow's Parent and Pride Gala before hosting OCN Tuesday.
