PRINCE GEORGE — The Clippers scored first but spent much of their game against Prince George playing even or behind.

Carson Lesiuk tallied early but then the Spruce Kings added three straight markers including a pair on the man advantage.

Spencer Masters, and Ben Vreugdenhil had the power goals and Michael Denney scored at even strength.

Before an early intermission break Elliot Perreault got Nanaimo back within a goal, Evan Bellamy gave PG another two goal lead and Hayden Fechner nudged the game to 4-3.

The Perreault and Fechner goals were both on the power play.
