NANAIMO — The Clippers had a good start to their game against Chilliwack, but were done in by a strong Chiefs second period that proved to be decisive.

After Nanaimo’s Patrick Fortune and the Chiefs Adam Boatter traded first period markers, Chilliwack added four second period goals and went on to win 5-2.

Ryan Small scored on a tap in just a minute and five seconds into the middle frame and even though Nathan Larioza tied things up with his third goal in four games the Chiefs ended the period on a three goal run.

Boatter with his second of the game, Adam Kral and Jack Plandowski on a last minute man advantage gave the Chiefs a comfortable lead.

Although Nanaimo outshot Chilliwack 12-6 in the final period neither team could score.
