Again it took the Vipers a bit longer to get going but they are slowly getting back into form as they rolled past the Pirates 5-0. The Vipers displayed complete dominance and control as the Pirates could only muster 3 shots on net or so as the Vipers consistently applied pressure in the other end. Finally it took one shift from Evan Daddario (2-0-2), Ross Wahl, Noah Maercklein (0-2-2), Patrick McCarthy(1-0-1) and Ryan Connearney to put the Vipers up 2-0. The first came on an absolute rocket from Daddario who has turned his game up a notch as he let a laser go from just inside the blueline that broke off the goalies stick, Ryan Connearney(0-2-2) and Ross Wahl picked up the assists with some good neutral zone transition. The second was a greasey goal from Daddario as he jammed in a rebound, but the play was started with another fine play of the stick of Connearney as he made a good read and play at the blueline. Alex Delvento would stretch the lead to 3-0 as he jumped up into a rush by Kyle Hentosh and Kyle Lynch and he was able to pick up the garbage with another dirty goal. Patrick McCarthy from the point and Dante Maribito through traffic would round out the scoring in this one. Aaron McDonnell had a relatively easy time of it between the pipes making a handful of saves

The Vipers used 3 first period goals, 2 of them 40 seconds apart to skate past Top Gun Non-Elite 8-0 at the Top Gun Invitational. The Vipers again got contributions from all 3 lines in this effort as well as another steady peformance on the blue line. Evan Daddario (2-1-3) Kyle Lynch (1-2-3)  Dante Maribito (2-1-3), and Noah Maercklein (1-2-3) all had 3 point games as Daddario continues to be red hot. Kyle Hentosh and Ross Wahl both chipped in with 2 assists. Patrick McCarthy also got on the board with a pretty individual effort for the goal. The Vipers have not given up a goal in the first 3 games of the tournament as Aaron McDonnell did his part between the pipes to keep the streak alive. The Vipers next take on CP Dynamo as they chase a #1 seed for the playoffs

The 99Vipers extended their winning streak to four games with a win over the Red Rangers.  The Red Rangers have been a very tough opponent this year and the Vipers were finally able to secure a victory.  Rob Tibbetts once again tallied twice to pace the scoring.  Alex Daccord was terrific in net not allowing a goal in a period and half of play.  The Red Rangers pulled their goalie with 2 minutes to go creating havoc in the Vipers end.  Mick Guanci came up with two blocked shots in the closing minute to help preserve the lead and then fed David Melanson for an empty net goal .
