The Bucs ended the Cougs’ 23-game win streak Sunday with a 1-0 overtime win in Victoria. Trent Bell scored the game winner 30 seconds into double OT and Alex Orth made 37 saves for the shutout.

Next action for the Buccaneers is Thursday (Jan. 28), when they host the Saanich Braves in a 7:15 p.m. faceoff at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
