Buccaneers stun Storm with incredible 2-1 overtime win
NANAIMO — Elation for the Buccanneers (30-7-0-1), while it was heartbreak for the Storm.
The Bucs managed an unprecedented 2-1 overtime victory over visiting Campbell River (27-6-3-1) following two late short-handed goals Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
“We were just happy to get the first one, it looked like one of those nights that you run into a hot goaltender and get shutout in your own building,” an excited Bucs head coach Curtis Toneff told NanaimoNewsNOW post-game.
Mathieu Jallabert notched the game-winner at the 4:20 mark of the first overtime session. He roofed the puck past a sprawling Liam Murphy, who was stellar in goal for the visitors.
