Sabres eliminated in Game 7 OT loss as Yankees rally late

The Buffalo Sabres’ season is over. Alexander Newhook scored in overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 win in Game 7, ending Buffalo’s playoff run. The Sabres finished the series despite posting the better regular-season record at 50-23-9, compared to Montreal’s 48-24-10. It’s a tough exit for a team that had home-ice expectations, and one that will sting through the summer.

In baseball, the Yankees pulled off a late comeback against Toronto, with Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm each hitting two-run home runs in the seventh inning to flip the game. New York held on for a 7-6 win, improving to 29-19 on the season. The Blue Jays fell to 21-26, a tough spot for a franchise with playoff aspirations.

No action Monday for the Bills, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Red Wings, Knighthawks, Cornell, Hobart, or Syracuse.
