The Clippers took the game over in the second period thanks to three pretty goals, first from
Jack Rimmer on a four way passing play, then Miller Kay tipped in a centring pass and Patrick Fortune put home a cross ice feed on a Nanaimo man advantage.
In the third period Rimmer and Indiana Grossbard also added power play markers.
Goalie Matthew Hutchison picked up the win and is now 3-0-2 as a starting goalie.
Surrey’s Michael Fiedorczuk was the only player to beat him in the third period.
The final shots were 36-24 in Nanaimo’s favour with the Clippers going 3/7 on the man advantage and 7/7 on the penalty kill.
Nanaimo swept their season series 4-0 against the Eagles and are on a run of 8-0-2 in their last 10 games.
The Clippers will end February with a home game versus the Grizzlies on Feb. 27 and a visit to Powell River on Feb. 28.
