The Swan Valley Stampeders are now winless in four games in their season series with their division rivals after a 4-1 defeat to the Dauphin Kings on Tuesday night.

After a scoreless first, the Kings scored two quick goals just 2:01 into the second by Gabriel Buguead and Gavin Nemis to give the Kings before Ethan MacTavish cut the deficit with one at 2-1 before the second period buzzer.

The visitors added some insurance in the third off the sticks of Madden Murray and Cayden Glover who helped the Kings win their fourth straight.

Cole Sheffield stopped 24 of 25 shots for the Kings to earn his 21st win of the season, while Stamps’ goalie Rowan made 35 stops in the loss.

The Stampeders return to action beginning a weekend road trip on Friday night in La Broquerie against the Steinbach Pistons.
