Ian Richards made it 2-2 with assists from Colin Becker and Isaac Johnson.
A power play goal by Carter Thielke at 5:04 of the second period proved to be the game winner. Landon Thacker and Michael DeBrito earned assists on the goal.
In the third period Thacker scored from Thielke and DeBrito at 9:57 and Kellen Stenstrom tallied the final goal with assists from Sterling Andrews and Colton Partain.
“We had a hard fought battle with DL on Senior Night,” said Head Coach Mike Donaghue of the Otters. “We didn’t get off to a good start, but played better in the second period and got a big power play goal from Carter Thielke to take the lead. We came out with good energy in the third and buried a couple of pucks to take control. I thought our penalty kill was really good. The guys stepped up and got the job done on special teams, which was good to see.”
Fergus Falls (7-1) recorded their seventh straight victory. They will host St. Cloud Cathedral on Tuesday.
