The 98s hosted the Assabet Valley Patriots on Saturday and despite a solid performance by the Assabet goalie and the will to hang in the game the Vipers scored two third period goals to pull away and win 4-2. The Vipers used 2 goals from the White line of JT Chamberlain (1-1-2), Ross Wahl (0-1-1) and Braden Haley (1-1-2) to build a 2-0 lead after 1 period. The White line continues to play well since being put together. The Vipers could not solve the Patriot goaltending in the third as the second period ended 2-1. Kyle Lynch would score two third period goals in the third to put this one away for the hosts, Dante Maribito would assist on both and Kyle Hentosh would also add a helper. Alex Delvento also picked up an assist on the first goal, as he has registered points in 2 straight games. Nick Fiorentino went the distance in this one and made some timely stops. All six Viper defenseman chipped in with a solid game, Ryan Connearney and Steven Tettoni both played well.
