NANAIMO — The Clippers gained a point in a hard fought 2-1 overtime loss in Alberni Valley.

It was the goalies who took centre stage with Dryden Riley stopping 34 of 36 shots in his first start with Nanaimo and Ryder Shea making 37 saves for the Bulldogs.

Riley was at his best with stellar saves at the end of the second period and several big stops in overtime, including on an Alberni Valley power play.

Charles Beland scored the Clippers only goal in the first period while Wyatt Davis countered in the middle frame for the Bulldogs.

Jacob Terpstra, who finished with a goal and an assist, notched the overtime winner after a turnover at the Nanaimo blueline.
