NANAIMO — The Clippers high powered offense took a back seat to a stalwart defensive effort in a 2-1 win over the Silverbacks.
After first period goals by Luke Buss and then Michael Murtagh on the power play the Clippers relied on strong defense and Tyler Hodges the rest of the night.
Hodges stopped 26 of 27 shots, beaten only by a Jacob Bonkowski tally on a deflection late in the middle period.
Nanaimo was outshot 27-23 with Hodges getting the win over Salmon Arm’s Eli Pulver.
