Mooretown moved into a fourth place tie with Dresden in the Stobbs Division with 30 points. The Blades have 19 points and are in seventh place.
The first period was marked not by scoring, but by a game misconduct earned by the Blades' Bryce Broad for goalie interference.
The Flags scored twice in the second period. Landon Wilson got it started at 7:48, then Kyle Smith added to the Mooretown lead over two and a half minutes later.
Mooretown extended their lead to 3-0 shortly after the start of the third period on a power play goal from Daniel Wellington. The Blades got back in the game with back-to-back goals from Nick Delyzer, cutting the Flags' lead to 3-2, but they were unable to tie the game before the end of regulation.
Nolan Hakr got the victory between the pipes for Mooretown, with 28 saves. Eric Stewardson had 23 saves for Blenheim in the loss.
Mooretown is back in action Saturday when they host the Essex 73s.
