The 98's took on the Nashua Panthers on Saturday and despite playing well for most of the game ended up on the wrong side of a 3-1 score. Despite holding a wide margin in shots the Vipers could not solve the strong goaltending of the Panthers. The game was tight throughout and was a very entertaining game as both teams played hard. The Vipers grabbed the 1-0 lead late in the second period as Kyle Hentosh finished off some nice passing from Dante Maribito and Kyle Lynch. Nashua would tie the score at one as a nice bounce would find the back of the net. Nashua would go up 2-1 as the game winner would come off a Vipers stick inadvertently attempting to clear the front of the net, and would then go on to score a late goal with a minute left to seal the game
