In Nanaimo at Frank Crane Arena the Clippers (3-4-1-2) shutout the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (10-3) 6-0. Managing only four shots on goal in both the first and third periods the Silverbacks finished with 17 for the game and Charles-Andre Pelletier recorded his first blanking of the season. Scoring twice one second after a power play had expired the Clippers won their second game in a row and moved out of the basement in the Coastal Conference. On the other hand the loss dropped Salmon Arm to second place in the Interior Conference and started a four-games-in-five-days Vancouver Island road trip.
In Penticton at the South Okanagan Events Centre the Vees (11-4) catapulted into first place in the Interior Conference by defeating the Quesnel Millionaires (3-8-1) 6-2. Scoring three power play goals in the final three minutes of the first period put the Vees in front for good. Finishing the night four-for-seven on the man-advantage Penticton recorded their sixth straight victory while the Mills are now win less in six. Billy Faust made 30 saves for the win while Bradley Robbins had a four point night.
In Surrey at the South Arena the Coquitlam Express (8-4-0-1) erased an early two goal hole to defeat the Eagles (8-7) 7-5. Down 2-0 in the first eight minutes the Express scored once more that the Eagles on the power play, once shorthanded, once on a penalty shot, once at even strength and once into an empty net. Coquitlam was led by 1993 born rookie Destry Straight with a hat trick and four points.
