Four different players scored goals and Aaron Dahl stopped 37 shots as the Tigers recorded their third straight Missota Conference victory, a 4-2 road win over Chanhassen Monday night, Feb 14, at Chanhassen Arena.
The win brought Farmington's overall season record to 12-12 and 6-7 in the Missota Conference.
"We certainly seem to be peaking at the right time," Tiger coach Keith Revels said. "We're playing very good hockey right now."
Jake Sorenson and Zak Payne netted goals in the first five minutes of the opening period and Dahl stopped 15 Storm shots to give the visitors a 2-0 lead at the first intermission.
Chanhassen countered with a goal early in the second but Andrew Peterson answered less than a minute later to restore Farmington's two-goal edge.
"That's one thing we have been doing well that had been an issue for us (earlier in the season)," Revels said.
The Tigers led 3-2 after two periods and Dan Handberg's 11th goal of the season midway through the third closed the night's scoring.
Chanhassen pulled its goalie near the two-minute mark and played with a six-on-four advantage but Dahl and the penalty kill team did their job. Dahl stopped all 16 shots he faced over the final 17 minutes.
The Tigers close their regular season Thursday night with a road game with Red Wing at Prairie Island Arena. A win over the Wingers would give the Tigers a third place tie in the final Missota Conference standings.
