The Orange and Black travelled north Friday night for a Flyers vs. Kings marquee matchup.
Taye Timmerman made is Flyers debut on the road. A slow start from the Flyers saw 2 goals hit the back of the net before the 10 minute mark in the first. Nicholas Mazza plugged the leak, scoring a rocket of goal on the powerplay for his first of the year. The Kings would score one more time before Hudson Champagne would score his second of the season, sending both teams to the locker room. 3 -2 Dauphin.
The second was tight defensively, but special teams would prevail as Steven Foster netted another powerplay goal with some silky mitts and ending the period tied 3 – 3.
The Flyers would score a total of 5 unanswered goals by the Kings. Hudson Champagne would score the eventual game winner with just over 3 minutes to go in the third, with Captain Kam Thomas adding the insurance. The Kings would make a last ditch effort, pulling their goalie late in the third, but newly returning Flyer Charlie Weaver would score on the empty net to welcome him back with a 2 point night. 6 – 3 Flyers final!
For his 2 goal night and game winner, Hudson Champagne receives the Heatmasterss Player of the Game honours!
The Flyers will take on the Niverville Nighthawks this Sunday at 3:30 back at the Centennial Arena!
