The Buffalo Sabres evened their playoff series with the Montreal Canadiens at two games apiece Monday night, edging out a 3-2 win in Game 4. Cole Benson provided the go-ahead goal — on his birthday — to break a tie and send the Sabres back to Montreal with the series knotted. It’s the kind of moment that tends to stick around a locker room.
In Rochester, the Red Wings held the Lehigh Valley IronPigs scoreless in a 3-0 shutout. No individual stats were available, but a clean sheet in Triple-A ball is worth noting — pitching staff or otherwise, someone had a strong night at Frontier Field.
Down in the majors, the New York Yankees handled the Baltimore Orioles 6-2, with Paul Goldschmidt and Trea Grisham each going deep. New York improves to 27-16 on the season, continuing to hold a firm position near the top of the AL East, while Baltimore drops to 19-24.
