The Dauphin Kings ended a recent string of losses on January 27, 2026, with a 4–2 victory against the Northern Manitoba Blizzard in The Pas, Manitoba. The win snapped a mid-January slump for the Kings, who had struggled for results in the preceding games.
The game took place at the Roy H. Johnston Arena and remained a close contest through the first two periods. The Kings pulled ahead in the final period, supported by a strong performance from goaltender Cole Sheffield. The GX94 scoreboard confirmed the 4–2 final; the win helps the Kings maintain their slim lead in the MJHL West Division.
Gabriel Bugeaud and Naaman Hofer were among the team’s leading contributors, providing offensive support that had been missing in recent outings. The victory followed a tough 4–2 loss to the Niverville Nighthawks on January 26, 2026, reported by the Winnipeg Sun. By securing two points on the road, the Kings regained momentum as they prepare for their next stretch of games.
The matchup carried extra meaning because the Northern Manitoba Blizzard defeated the Kings in the 2025 Turnbull Cup Finals — a seven-game series that ended in triple overtime. The road win gives Dauphin renewed energy as they return home and fight to keep their first-place position in the West Division.
