However, Bismarck regained its two-goal advantage by the end of the period.
Hof added another goal on an assist from Dustin early in the third, but Aberdeen was unable to find the game-tying goal before Bismarck added an insurance goal in the closing minutes.
Each team scored three power-play goals and as the two teams combined for 11 penalties in the contest.
The Bobcats outshot Aberdeen 25-23. Jacob Iallonardo had 19 saves in goal for the Wings.
