Nanaimo Buccaneers lose 4-3 in double-overtime to Westshore
NANAIMO — After experiencing smooth sailing for the most part this season, the Nanaimo Buccaneers (16-4-0-1) are now dealing with some choppier waters.
The city’s junior B hockey team lost 4-3 in double-overtime to the visiting Westshore Wolves (14-8-0-1) Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
Cameron Coutre scored the game-winning goal on a broken play, slamming the puck past a helpless Derek Krall.
“I thought that last half of the second period really killed our momentum,” Bucs head coach Curt Toneff told NanaimoNewsNOW after the game. “(Westshore’s) powerplay was great and ours was just okay.”
