The Dauphin Clippers hockey team has won five games in a row, with the fifth win coming, Sunday, against the Minnedosa/Erickson Chancellors.

Hayden Shtykalo scored three times and added an assist and Ethan Zalischuk had two goals and two assists to lead the Clippers to a 9-0 victory over the shorthanded Chancellors, which dressed just 13 skaters.

Josh Yakielashek chipped in with two goals and one assist, with Cale Morrison and Noah Myhre adding singles.

Ben Miner stopped all 19 shots he faced to record the shutout. Parker Soltys made 30 saves in taking the loss.

The game Friday night against the Birtle/Shoal Lake/Rossburn Falcons was postponed due to the extreme cold and has been rescheduled to Feb. 3, at 1:45 p.m.

It was the second game postponed in recent weeks.

Clippers head coach Drew Kulcheski said postponements are to the team’s benefit, because they are always prepared to play.

“We’re ready to go every single game. Like we’ve talked about, we’re a resilient group. I think we show up coming to the rink, whether it’s practice or games, we’ve got our work boots on,” he said.

“I’ve got to praise our leadership group. They keep everybody humble, keep every ready to go on time. We’re just playing with confidence right now and we’re buzzing.”

The Clippers scored four goals in the opening frame, taking advantage of the shortened Minnedosa bench.

“I think when we have character wins like this, when we play our style, we play north and south. We play heavy when we need to play heavy, but when we need to play with skill, we play with skill,” Kulcheski said.

“The boys are really confident right now and it shows on the ice.”

The Clippers host the Reston/Melita/Hartney/Souris Renegades, Friday at 7:30 p.m., before the Hamiota/Rivers Huskies pay a visit to Credit Union Place, Saturday at 3 p.m.

On Sunday, the Sandy Bay Badgers visit the Clippers at 12:30 p.m.
