Devin Brosseau scored and Jakob Walter got the start in goal in the loss to the Smokies. Nanaimo outshot Trail 48-35.
Brosseau scored both Nanaimo goals and the Clips outshot the Vees 37-32 but were 0-for-9 on the power play. Reinhart played goal and made 29 saves.
Sunday’s game was even more penalty filled. Chris Dodero had a goal and two assists, and Brosseau, Sheldon Rempal and Kale Bennett also tallied. Reinhart tended goal.
GAME ON … The Clips visit the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Tuesday (Nov. 10). Next home action for the Clippers is Friday, when they face the Bulldogs at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.
