Vipers Double Alberni Valley 4-2

The Vipers erased two, one goal deficits for the second time in as many games as they used a three goal second period to defeat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 4-2. Four different Vipers found the back of the net and Ty Taylor turned aside 30 shots for his 20th win of the year.

The Vipers gave up the first goal in the opening period but scored three goals in the second to take the lead. The team was  able to tighten up in the third, but the Bulldogs really pushed to cut the deficit.

Ty Taylor had to make a handful of good saves, but so did Hawthorne at the other end as the Vipers tried to extend their lead. Despite a late flurry from the Bulldogs, the Vipers held on for a solid 4-2 win in front of 2000 fans at Kal Tire Place.

The Vipers are on the road for a Sunday matinee in Trail to take on the Smoke Eaters you can catch all the action on Beach Radio starting with the pre-game show at 2:45pm. Vipers next home action will be on January 31st vs Merritt.
