The Wayway Wolverines snapped their 4 game losing streak on Tuesday night as they came from behind to beat the Dauphin Kings 4-3 in the shootout.
In the 6th and final meeting of the season between the two clubs the Kings would strike first as 16 year old forward Kyle Oleksiuk would jam home his 8th of the season just 7:32 into the 1st period would give the home side an early 1-0 lead. The Wolverines would tie it up just a short time later as Derek Wood's (pictured above) long point shot would go off a Kings' defender in front and by Brandon Holtby for the Wolverine dman's 3rd of the year to make it a 1-1 game after 1 period with shots 16-11 Dauphin after 20 minutes.
The Wolverines would outplay the Kings in the 2nd outshooting them 26-8 but it would be the Kings who would get the lone goal as Keaton Leininger would sneak home his team-leading 22nd of the season to give the Kings a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
The Kings would add to their lead just 3:36 into the 3rd period as local product Matthew Greening would bang home his 11th of the season to make it 3-1 Dauphin. But the Wolverines would come back to even it up with goals 1:18 apart. First up a Quinton Cubbon would bang home a PP goal, his 6th of the season to make it 3-2 then Justin Paulson's long point shot would sneak through Holtby for his 1at to knot it up at 3-3.
After a scoreless overtime, a shootout would be need to decide the extra point and it would be Landyn Cochrane and Brendan Martin scoring the only goals of the shootout while McKenzie Chalmers stopped both Daniel Chartrand and Keaton Leininger to help lead the Wolverines to a victory.
