Clippers down Trail 7-3 for sixth consecutive win

Oct 19, 2022 | 10:13 PM

NANAIMO — The Clippers scored 58 seconds into the game and never looked back in a 7-3 victory over the Trail Smoke Eaters.

Brody Waters opened the scoring and scored again before the game was four minutes old.

A power play marker by the Smoke Eaters Evan Bushy narrowed the gap to 2-1 shortly after.

Kai Daniells notched his team leading eighth goal of the season early in the second period but quickly Trail tied it up with a power play goal by Quinn Disher and a goal out of a scramble from Adam Marshall.

That seem to bring the best out of the Clippers with Nanaimo scoring the final four goals of the game.

The Clippers have won six consecutive hockey games and look to extend their streak when they return home to play the Victoria Grizzlies on Oct. 21.
