How will the Vipers do tonight?

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

Friday the 13th so anything can happen. Lets go 5-2 for the Vipers tonight.

Vandekamp returns to the building he opened as coach of the Vipers. He's done a lot of trading since taking over the Capitals mid-season but I think the Vipers will win 4-2.
