How will the Vipers do tonight?

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

Since the Christmas break Trail has one win and 8 losses. The only win coming last weekend in the triple header against Prince George. The Vipers' road record this season isn't good, but they might be able to squeeze out a close road win in Trail.
