Feb 27, 2018 | 9:59 AM

PARKSVILLE — The Buccaneers made quick work of the Oceanside Generals, sweeping the VIJHL best-of-7 playoff opponent following a 3-2 Monday night in Parksville.

Trey Watson, Booker Chacalias and Mathieu Jallabert scored for Nanaimo, while Brady Kay and Braeden Young responded for Oceanside.

Once again it was Nanaimo’s power-play that was a huge factor. The Bucs potted 2 goals with the man advantage. Jallabert’s third period tally was with an extra man, which turned out to the game-winning goal.

The Bucs piled up 7 power-play goals in the 4-game series sweep.
