Game 12 Preview - Chiefs @ Vipers

It looked bleak last Saturday Night as the Vernon Vipers were trailing the Silverbacks for the majority of the contest.  All that changed in a matter of 46 seconds.  Three goals in that time frame allowed the Vipers to steal two points.  The Vipers hope to continue the momentum generated from that big win tonight against a struggling Chilliwack Chiefs squad.

Lets look and see how these two teams stack up.

                       - Penalty Kill - 13th in the league - 30 of 37 - 81.08%

The Chiefs come in as the lowest scoring team in the league.  They've also played the fewest number of games as tonights will be their 9th.  It'll be an interesting matchup for two teams who need these two points.  Tonights game is an internet only broadcast on the Vipers MixLR.  I will be tweeting the address closer to game time from Kal Tire Place.  We'll have the pre game starting at 6:45.
