The two teams played a scoreless first period, but Sterling Andrews got the Otters on the board just 1:36 into the second period with an assist from Logan Schake.  Hutchinson responded with two goals just 1:25 apart to take a 2-1 lead.  Tristan Hoppe scored on the power play from Cam Longie and Hayden Jensen at 7:54 and Austin Jozwick scored at 9:19, from Brady Knorr.

Ethan Danner’s unassisted goal at 16:59 of the third period sent the game to overtime.

“Ben had a great game for us in the net,” said Head Coach Mike Donaghue of Fergus Falls.  “DeBrito’s game winner came on a great shot to the short side of the goal and the line of Andrews, Schake and Danner did a great job today.”

Fergus Falls will play New Ulm on Thursday at 7:00pm in the first round of their Holiday Classic.
