Im surprised the Vipers dealt Worth after only playing in four games. Will Cooper be the backup or take over the number one job? His numbers aren't great and has a 500 record in the BCHL with two teams. Maybe will get to see him play this weekend? Aidan Porter has played twelve straight games and needs a break.
