ELMONT, N.Y. — 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. 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) took the lead for good when Bourbonnais scored with an assist from Brooke Hobson 2:44 into the match.
