It’s now a best-of-three.

Brady O’Brien scored two goals, including the game-winner in double overtime, to lift the Quality Foods Oceanside Generals to a crucial 3-2 win against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in Game 4 of their opening-round Vancouver Island Junior Hockey league playoff series Tuesday in Comox. The best-of-seven series is tied at 2-2.

The Generals got off to a flying start when team leading scorer and VIJHL top forward Carter Johnson scored just 30 seconds into the opening frame.

Oceanside extended their lead to 2-0 when O’Brien scored just past the midway mark in the second. The Glacier Kings cut the gap in half as Caileb Berge got one past Generals goalie Ashton Sadauskas.

Sadauskas was named player of the game for the Gens, as he turned away 27 shots to get the win in goal.

Game 5 moves back to Oceanside Place tonight at 7 p.m.
