Clippers win

The Dauphin Clippers hockey team continued its winning ways, Sunday afternoon, scoring a 3-2 overtime win over the Minnedosa/Erickson Chancellors.

Ethan Carnegie’s second goal of the game, 13 seconds into overtime lifted Dauphin to the victory.

Ronin Mouck had Dauphin’s other goal, while Zachary Lamb and Grady Burton replied for the Chancellors.

Chase Glover made 33 saves to record the win in goal, while Parker Soltys made 23 saves for the Chancellors.

Clippers assistant coach Curtis Yaschyshyn said the Clippers got better as the game went on after a slow start.

“We haven’t skated in a week and it showed out there, today. Hopefully, the boys are learning that we can’t just show up at the rink and go. We’ve got to be ready to play right off the first puck drop,” he said.

The Clippers weren’t skating as well as they have in the past, which led to their lacklustre play at times.

Yaschyshyn said it is always a concern when the team is not playing well.
