POWELL RIVER — The Clippers dropped the second game in their road double header against the Kings on Saturday.

The game followed the exact scoreline as their contest on Friday night with the Kings scoring first, Nanaimo getting two straight, and Powell River scoring the final three goals.

In the first period the Kings opened the scoring on a power play goal by Ryan Brushett, and the Clippers answered with Blake Bonnar’s first BCHL goal.

Jordan Dawson spun a power play goal off the blocker of Mitch Adamyk, up and over the goaltender and in to give the Clippers a 2-1 advantage early in the second.

The Kings rallied with three straight goals to close the period.
