Bourbonnais, Shelton propel New York to 5

ELMONT, N.Y. (AP) — Jaime Bourbonnais scored two goals, Ella Shelton had a goal and two assists and New York handed postseason hopeful Minnesota its fifth straight loss with a 5-2 victory in a Professional Women’s Hockey League regular-season finale at UBS Arena on Saturday.

The skid for Minnesota (8-4-3-9, 35 points) has come when all it needed was one point to clinch a postseason berth. Now the team will need some help to advance. Minnesota moves on if Boston fails to post a regulation win over No. 2 seed Montreal later Saturday. Minnesota was on a five-match win streak before the league took a break for international play and has not won since.

New York (5-4-3-12) grabbed an early lead when Bourbonnais scored with an assist from Brooke Hobson 2:44 into the match. It was Bourbonnais’ fourth goal of the season and the fourth assist for Hobson.
