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 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.

Minnesota halved a 2-0 deficit after Denisa Krizova took passes from Grace Zumwinkle and Kelly Pannek and scored her third goal of the campaign with 6:09 left in the first period.

It was the 11th assist for Pannek and the eighth by Zumwinkle.

Zumwinkle scored short-handed off an assist from Pannek with 17:39 left in the third to get Minnesota within 4-2 for its final tally.

It was Zumwinkle’s 11th goal this season, second in the league behind the 18 of Toronto’s Natalie Spooner.

Lindsey Post made her first start of the season in goal for New York and finished with 30 saves.

Nicole Hensley saved 27 shots for Minnesota.

Minnesota had won three of the previous four matchups and beat New York at home 5-1 the last time the two teams met on March 16, setting a season high for goals. New York’s five-goal effort in the finale was a season high.

Toronto has clinched first place and will have its choice of playing the No. 3 or No. 4 seed in the first round of the playoffs. Montreal has clinched second and will play the remaining seed. Ottawa, in the hunt with Minnesota and Boston for the final two postseason berths, visits Toronto on Sunday to close out the regular season.
