Heartbreaking loss for Vipers in Cardiff

A last minute strike by Jon Pelle edged Devils home against a hard working Vipers side who had earlier been a winning position in the opening stages of the final period.
Both sides had wasted little time in opening their account in this clash with Devils taking the lead after only 2.22 thanks to an effort by Max Birbraer on the powerplay but Vipers were soon back on terms with Jamie Carroll finding the net at 3.11.
Both sides had chances although Devils had much more of the play and it was they who led again at 16.20 when Birbraer hit his second of the game. However, again the visitors came back and at 17.14 Dale Mahovsky levelled.
Both sides were giving as much as they were getting in the second period but defences had steadied and neither team could add to their opening period scores.
That all changed only 11 seconds into the third period when the home side were shocked as Patrik Forsbacka shot Vipers ahead for the first time but they were as guilty of being unable to hold on to a lead as Devils had been earlier and at 43.35 a shorthanded strike by Scott Matzka made it 3-3. Nip and tuck after that with both sides making their claims for victory but at 59.02 the home support were on their feet when Pelle fired home what turned out to be the game winner with Vipers unable to strike back despite pulling goaltender Effinger immediately after.
