FARGO — Omaha overcame Fargo's two-goal lead in the third period and got the lone goal in the shootout to defeat the Force 4-3 on Saturday at Scheels Arena.
On night after going 3 for 6 on the power play, the Force were unsuccessful in eight man-advantage situations. Still, the Force led 3-1 early in the third period on Saturday.
Omaha's Andone Cerbone opened the scoring with a goal at 3:55 of the second period. But Joe Palodichuk tied it with a goal at 12:18 of the second on assists from Harper Bentz and Reid Conn, and Cole Knuble put the Force ahead with a goal just more than a minute later on assists from Mac Swanson and Brasen Boser.
Things looked even more promising when Fargo's Jakob Stender made it 3-1 at 6:03 of the third on assists from JP Turner and Girts Silkalns.
But Omaha's Alex Bump set up Vincent Salice for a goal at 13:01, and then Bump scored the tying goal on the power play at 15:37. After a scoreless overtime, Bump was the lone goal scorer among six Force and Lancer skaters in the shootout.
