The Dauphin Kings snapped a three-game losing streak with a dramatic come-from-behind overtime win over the visiting Swan Valley Stampeders, Saturday.

Dauphin’s week began with a sloppy 8-4 loss to the OCN Blizzard, Tuesday in OCN, followed by a 3-0 loss to the Stampeders, Friday in Swan River.

On Saturday, the Kings trailed midway through the third period, but tied the game with 1:40 left in regulation on a goal from Mason Smith.

Garrett Hrechka then gave the Kings the win when Nicholas Hatton sent him in all alone and the Dauphin native beat Swan Valley’s Loic Mainguy-Crepault.

Dauphin’s record sits at 2-2-1-0 through the first five games.

The game against OCN was one where the entire team did not play well, according to Kings head coach and general manager Doug Hedley.

“It wasn’t just the goaltender. It wasn’t just the d-men and it wasn’t just the forwards. It was everybody. It was a team effort. We didn’t compete. We didn’t stick battle,” he said. “It’s a tough place to play in if you’re not used to it. Whatever energy you have in that building, you have to feed off of it. And we didn’t.”
