Five goal Vipers sink Stingrays

Newcastle Vipers 5-2 Excel Hull Stingrays

The Newcastle Vipers hit five straight goals to condemn the Excel Hull Stingrays to their third loss in four matches and in doing so they gained revenge for their 5-3 defeat by Sylvain Cloutier's Rays last weekend.

The Stingrays opened up a two goal lead thanks to a goal from Lee Esders and a shorthanded marker from Konstantin Kalmikov, however, the Vipers netted five consecutive goals in the second half of the game via a David Longstaff double and further goals from Dean Holland, Matus Petricko and Majic Krajl to comprehensively seal the victory.

SOG: 41-31
PIM: 6-8
