McAvoy's high-swing slash ends Bruins' playoff run as Sabres advance

In Game 6, Boston defenseman Charlie McAvoy was ejected after a high, two-handed slash and a cross-check at Zach Benson as Buffalo eliminated the Bruins 4-1. Benson drew a two-minute minor for tripping, while McAvoy received a game misconduct and a five-minute major for slashing, with any additional discipline to come at the start of the 2026-27 season. Buffalo advances to the second round for the first time since 2007, Pastrnak scored Boston's lone goal, and McAvoy finished the series with two assists in six games.

Bruins Fall to Wild in Overtime Thriller

Mats Zuccarello leads the Wild with 28 points, while Joel Eriksson Ek leads in goals with 14.
