Make your predictions, Who will win and what will be the final score?

Looking at the standings tonight, this is a must win for the Vipers. I know its early in the season but after a 0-3 start, having won back to back games need to beat a Victoria team that is 1-3-0-1 and played in Prince George last night. The Vipers have a four game home stand and play five of their next seven games at home, need to string some wins together and climb the standings. The Vipers have some tough games coming, next weekend the Vipers play 5-0 Penticton & 4-1 Prince George before Prince George again and 4-1 Cranbrook later in the month. The Vipers need to beat teams lower in the standings.
