The Vipers playing without the services of Evan Daddario who suffered a broken hand in the Kings game, shuffled their deck and put in a solid effort in a 5-1 win over the Rochester Monarchs. The Monarchs would get on the board first to make it 1-0, but less than a minute later Kyle Hentosh (2-1-3) would tip in a shot from Noah Maercklein (2-1-3) to tie the score. The Vipers would then go on to score the next 4 goals. Kyle Hentosh would then tip home a blast from Christian Kukas for the 2-1 lead and Maerckleins first from Kyle Lynch (1-2-3) and Dante Maribito (0-3-3) would stretch the lead to 3-1. Lynch fro Henny and Maribito and Maercklein from JT Chamberlain and Aaron Dollin would close out the scoring in this one. Aaron McDonnell was solid between the pipes for the Vipers in this one, who got strong efforts on the blueline from Patrick McCarthy and Christian Kukas. Alex Delvento who moved up front also played well
