The Vipers got back to their winning ways Friday night with a very important win over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Today, two points are up for grabs in a Vipers matinee as the Snakes host the Victoria Grizzlies. The teams have nearly identical records and are very similar. The Grizzlies are at the end of a long road trip, albeit a successful trip and will be a big challenge.
