The Power Play once again was the story in this one as the Vipers would score 5 unanswered golas, 3 of them on the PP as they grinded out a 5-1 win against a well coached scrappy Worcester Crusader team. Aaron McDonnell would play well in this one between the pipes as he would come up with a big breakaway save in the second when this one was still close. Kyle Lynch (1-2-3) would knot things up at 1 with Dante MAribito (1-1-2) picking up the helper. Maribito and Lynchy would hook up again just 3 minutes later on a pretty 2v1 as Maribito banged home a nice pass across the crease to Maribito. Noah Maercklein on the PP would fire a shot that had eyes from the point for the 4 goal lead, Lynchy gathered a helper on that one. Kyle Hentosh (2-0-2) would benefit from some nice puck movement and finished off a nice PP set up as Maribito took a pass from Maerckein on the half wall, Dante walked out and then hit Henny with a seed to the back door for the tap in. The Viper defense again played a very solid game doing a nice job of eliminating time and space by stepping up on the blue.
