BCHL: Vipers lose in OT to Silverbacks

Apr 11, 2021 | 4:00 AM

The Vernon Vipers fell to 3-1-1 in the BCHL pod season after a 2-1 loss in overtime to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Saturday night at Kal Tire Place.

Two goals from Sullivan Mack including the OT winner lifted the Backs to the victory.

The following is the game recap from the Vipers website:

There was no scoring in the first forty minutes but it was a tale of two periods for the Vipers who were on their heels through part of the first period despite a very effective penalty kill. The Silverbacks hit two goal posts and Porter Jr. made a number of good saves to keep it scoreless.

The second was a much different story as the Vipers didn’t allow much defensively and had more sustained efforts in the offensive zone. Owen Say was up to the challenge and the game remained scoreless after 2.

Sullivan Mack scored early in the third period to give Salmon Arm a 1-0 lead. The Viper powerplay responded just under three minutes later as Ryan Shostak ripped home a one timer from Tyler Carpendale. Hunter Donohoe had the best chance to take the lead, but hammered a puck off the goal post. From there overtime was required.

The Vipers had a great chance early in the OT, before Sullivan Mack was spotted for a breakaway to give the Backs the extra point.

The Vipers take the West Kelowna Warriors on Monday for another afternoon contest at 1 p.m., a game you can hear on 107.5 Beach Radio starting at 12:55
