NANAIMO — The Clippers had one of their strongest performances of the season in an 8-3 victory over the Coquitlam Express.

Hayden Fechner set the tone 47 seconds into the contest with a goal and by the first intermission Nanaimo was up 4-1.

After Carson McGinley tied the game briefly at 1-1 on a man advantage, the Clippers got a power play goal of the their own from Charles Beland.

Will Subject on a penalty shot and Jack Rimmer with the game at four on four wrapped up the first period scoring.

Coquitlam’s Michael Munroe got the Express back into the game in the middle frame until Rimmer converted a three way passing play for his second goal of the night.
