First period showed the grit, determination and physicality of the two teams leaving it scoreless. Second period Gavin Goepferd made the Flyers do a double take after connecting passes from Shane Zierden and Leighton Buckmeier. With seconds left in the period Adam Kennedy sent one to the net giving Davis Shol a rebound goal to put the Otters up 2-0. There was one lone goal from the Flyers in the third. The Otters continued with a strong game and defense keeping the puck away from their goaltender, Tim Nanson, who recorded 31 saves in a stellar performance.

The Otters traveled to Northern Lakes that same afternoon to face a quick Northern Lakes team, unfortunately they didn’t come out on top after a quick turnaround from the Little Falls game.

Sunday brought the Otters back to home ice to face another top rival in Moorhead. First period the Otters held them off by only letting one slide into the net. Second period also looked good with the Spuds only leading 2-0. Third period brought more goals by Moorhead to seal the win despite the Otters strong defense.
