The 98s closed out their regular season NEHL schedule with another hard fought 2-1 win over the Warrior Elites, beating them for the second straight time and taking the season series from them 2-1-1. You can count on a battle every time these two teams play and this one was no different. VJW got on the board first early but the Vipers would answer as Noah Maercklein would knock one in short side with Brendan White picking up the helper. Goalie Aaron McDonnell would keep the Warriors off the board for the rest of the game and Dante Maribito with 8 minutes left would jump on a loose puck out front and poke it in for the game winner, Christian Kukas picking up the helper. The Vipers secured a third place finish in the NEHL American League with an 18-7-7 record, an amazing turn around from their 5 win season last year.

Patrick McCarthy would provide some energy up front as he was forced to play forward for the shorthanded Vipers.

One week removed from beating the Warrior Elites with just 2 minutes remaining the Vipers used a Christian Kukas slapper with just 40 seconds left in the game to earn the 3-3 tie with the Warriors, giving the Vipers 3 out of the last 4 points with the league leading Warriors. VJW would get on the board first in the first minute and a half of the game on the PP. The Vipers would come back to tie the game just a minute into the second period on Dante Maribito's first of two goals, Kyle Hentosh and Patrick McCarthy would pick up the assists on the nice rush by Maribito. The Warriors would go ahead just 2 minutes later and go up 3-2 with a late second period goal. That would set the stages for Kukas's heroics as the Vipers would pull their goalie with over a minute left, the Warriors would just miss a chance at the empty net on a clear and would actually have possesion in the Viper end with no goalie but could not put the game away. With 44 seocnds left the puck would squirt out to the point and Christian Kukas would step in to a slapshot and it would end up over the goalies glove for the thrilling 3-3 tie. Aaron McDonnell played a solid game between the pipes for the Vipers

After capturing the JWK Memorial Tournament Championship the 98's headed back into league action looking to solidify their spot in the very tough NEHL American, and they did just enough to take out an always pesky AVP squad 3-1. The home team would get on the board first via the shorty from Dante Maribito as he would benefit from a great play by Kyle Lynch at the blueline to spring Maribito on the breakaway and the 1-0 lead. Maribito would add his second of the game just 2 minutes later to make it 2-0, Kyle Hentosh picked up the helper on that one. Just 30 seconds later Ryan Connearney would make a great play at his offensive blueline by keeping the puck in and Heath King would wind up with the puck on his stick alone in front and would deposit it in the top corner. Nick Fiorientino would do the rest between the pipes as they would hold on to a 3-1 win. Defenseman Patrick McCarthy, out since November with a broken wrist would return and play a very solid game on the blue line.
