The Crusaders were penalized four times in the latter half of the third period, opening the door for a Vipers comeback.

Bjork then ended the contest on the first shot of overtime, giving him his second overtime winner of the season.

Olivér Király made 15 saves in relief to pick up his first victory since joining the Vipers.

Vernon outshot Sherwood Park 32-31, including 17-6 in the third period. The Vipers finished 2-for-7 on the powerplay and killed off all four Crusaders opportunities.
