The Vernon Vipers come into tonights game in Merritt with points in 4 straight games. The Vipers will get a little bit of relief in the lineup as Demico Hannoun returns and it appears Mason Blacklock is getting closer and closer to a return as well. In their absence, the Vipers have looked to the line of Coughlin, McNicholas and Dancs. The Snakes will need all hands on deck in a building that is very much a home ice advantage for the Cents.
