"Tbe boys played hard and carried the play for the most part," Tiger coach Keith Revels said. "The Red Wing goalie played well with a very stingy defense in front of him.
"They do a nice job of clogging the middle ice and blocking or denying pucks to net. We had our chances but to no avail. I can't fault the effort though."
The loss snapped a four-game Farmington winning streak and left the Tigers with an overall mark of 9-8-1; 3-4-1 in Missota Conference play.
The only goal of the night came in the closing minutes of the opening period when the Wingers' Alex Rezansnoff scored on the power play.
Farmington found itself playing shorthanded often with 18 minutes of infractions resulting in four power play chances for the visitors. Red Wing spent only two minutes in the box.
"We took too many penalties for a game like this," Revels said.
The Tigers had a 22-21 edge in shots on goal, including an 8-3 advantage in the final period but could not get the puck by Winger goalkeeper Preston Blaney.
Gage Overby returned to the Tiger nets after a shaky two-period effort on Tuesday and played well, stopping 20 of 21 shots.
"This was a tough loss but we're still making good effort and playing well," Revels said.
The Tigers hit the road this week with a pair of conference road games on the docket, Tuesday at New Prague and Thursday at Holy Angels.
