NANAIMO — The Clippers have advanced to the second round of the BCHL playoffs with a convincing 8-2 win in a decisive Game 5 series victory over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.
Nanaimo was the first team to score first and win a game in the entire series.
The teams traded early goals with Patrick Fortune scoring on the man advantage and Grady Magner responding in a four on four situation for the Bulldogs.
Indiana Grossbard’s power play tally, his first career playoff goal, put Nanaimo up to stay and gave the Clippers a 2-1 lead at the first intermission break.
