It was the only goal the flyers needed as they beat the Blades 1-0 in Wahpeton.
"It was a tight game," Blades head coach Todd Dwyer said. "We can't take penalties like that, especially in a tight game."

The Blades also killed off penalties and the period ended scoreless.
For the game, Blades starting goaltender, sophomore Wyatt Hedrick stopped 22 Flyers shots.
The Blades also out shot the Flyers 35-23 for the game.
With the game still scoreless in the third period, Bagley-Foston capitalized on a one man advantage and scored on a power play with six minutes left in the game.
The Blades had a power play chance of their own near the end of the game, but could not take advantage of the extra player and get a goal to tie the game.
The Blades host West Fargo Tuesday to close out their regular season schedule.
Then they will play in a East region play-in game against Fargo-Shanley Monday, Feb. 15. That game will be played at the Urban Plains Center in Fargo.
