Minnesota battled back to within one early in the third starting with a Dalton Johnson even strength effort at 1:31 and one by John Cuni, via the power play, just over a minute later.
Fort Frances regrouped and added three more goals before the night was complete from Minerva, Andrew Willner and Robertson to secure the win.
