SOUTH SURREY — The Clippers fought through the fatigue of three games in less than 72 hours to get a point in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Eagles.

Surrey’s Grayden Slipec had the only goal of the first period while Brett Merner’s first as a Clipper was the only tally in the middle frame

Max Itagaki briefly gave Nanaimo a 2-1 lead in the third period until Jake Bongo tied the game on Surrey’s only power play.

The game remained tied through regulation and overtime until the Eagles outscored the Clippers 2-1 in the shootout.

Jed Baliotti stopped 35 of 37 shots he faced while the Clippers fired 31 shots at Surrey netminder Max Prazma.
