Nanaimo's three game losing streak is over after a 6-4 win in Westside.

The Clippers went out in front 4-2 with two goals in nine seconds early in the the third.
David Iacono poked in a power play goal at 4:38 and then Andrew Gladiuk stole a puck from Warriors goalie Dwayne Rodrigue and buried a backhander at 4:47.
Westside got within one at 7:30 with a power play blast from Izaak Berglund setting the stage for a frantic last minute.
First Andrew Gladiuk was awarded a goal when being tripped going for an empty netter at 18:57, then Dru Morrison narrowed the gap to 5-4 with 30 seconds left.
But Kyle Kramer sealed the win with his empty netter with 14 seconds to go.
