Evan DeBrouwer stopped all 22 pucks that came his way and three different players scored in a 3-0 Nanaimo Clippers home win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

A four-goal second period provided all the offence the Chilliwack Chiefs needed in a 6-3 home win over the Trail Smoke Eaters.

Mullin got his first goal late in the second to get the Kings on the board and in the third, Carter Turnbull, Kyle Betts, Gavin Rauser and Mullin all tallied to complete the comeback.

Matthew Galajda made 37 saves for the win.
Dakota Raabe and Jasper Weatherby both scored in the first two minutes of the game and Charlie Combs added the winner in the first as the Wenatchee Wild downed the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings 6-2.

Combs completed a hat trick in the third to round out the scoring.
A three-goal first period was all the Langley Rivermen needed in a 6-2 road win over the Coquitlam Express.
