Joao Peglow scored in the 90th minute as D.C. United salvaged a 1-1 draw with St. Louis City on Saturday in the second-ever meeting of the teams, the first in Washington.

Former D.C. player Chris Durkin scored in the 50th minute for depleted St. Louis (3-6-4, 13 points), which swapped out seven starters from its last match on Wednesday against Los Angeles FC.

In second-half stoppage time, Louis Munteanu scored what appeared to be the go-ahead goal for D.C. United, but Lucas Bartlett, who fed Munteanu with a header, was called for offside on the set-piece play after a video review.

Sean Johnson had two saves for D.C. United (4-5-5, 17 points), who have gone 2-1-4 in their last seven matches.

St. Louis was attempting to win its third straight MLS game in a span of eight days.

Roman Burki made four saves for St. Louis City, who were without starters Jaziel Orozco (hamstring) and top threat Marcel Hartel (illness), who has three goals and two assists.

St. Louis, however, was bolstered by the return of Durkin after he served a one-game suspension for sustaining a red card a week ago in a 1-0 win at the Colorado Rapids.

Durkin, who debuted 10 years ago at age 16 as a D.C. United homegrown, made 96 MLS appearances for D.C. between 2016-23 before joining St. Louis.

His goal came in the 50th minute and was set up with a wide transition run down the right side by Jeong Sang-bin, who passed to Durkin at the penalty arc.

Durkin ran onto the ball and blasted a right-footed shot into the left side of the net for his second goal of the season.

Peglow scored the equalizer off a corner-kick feed from Chris Stroud. Peglow’s right-footed rocket from beyond the box was placed just inside the left post for his first goal since July of last year.

Two minutes later, in stoppage time, St. Louis’ Conrad Wallem picked up his second yellow card and was ejected.

Burki’s best save came in the 79th minute when he dove to his right and slapped away a header from point-blank range by top D.C. scorer Tai Baribo.

The first half was full of free-flowing action but it led to few quality scoring opportunities. St. Louis City out-shot D.C. United 11-7 but put only one attempt on target compared to two for D.C.

England’s Lottie Woad fired a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday to secure a 3-shot lead over Amanda Doherty through three rounds of the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati.

Woad delivered four birdies on the back nine to move to 11-under 199 going into Sunday’s final round. The 22-year-old Woad and Ryann O’Toole tied for the best round of the day at Maketewah Country Club.

“Looking forward to being back in contention again,” said Woad, who hasn’t finished higher than a tie for seventh this season. “I think this year I’ve kind of been backdooring top 10s, top 15s. I haven’t really been challenging on Sunday, so looking forward to actually playing under the pressure a little bit.”

Woad began Saturday one shot behind Doherty. They both made the turn at 8 under for the tournament, but Woad posted birdies at Nos. 10, 11, 14 and 16 before notching a bogey at 17. Doherty managed just one birdie and one bogey on the back nine on a damp day meant for good scores.

“I didn’t hit it awesome,” Doherty said. “But I got it around all right.”

The 28-year-old Doherty has yet to finish better than tied for eighth in any LPGA event since joining the Tour in 2022, so she’s eager to be in the final pairing with Woad on Sunday.

“There is definitely excitement, definitely nerves,” Doherty said. “But that’s what comes with it. That’s why I’m out here, to play in the final group and feel that way.”

World No. 1 Nelly Korda will have to pull off a massive rally to win her third straight event. Korda shot 2 over on Saturday to drop to 2 under for the tournament, nine shots off the pace.

South Korea’s Haeran Ryu produced her second straight 66 to stay within four shots of the lead. New Zealand’s Lydia Ko (69) dropped five shots behind Woad, but holds sole possession of fourth place.

Five golfers are locked in at 5 under through 54 holes: Rose Zhang (66), Anne Chen (66), Lindy Duncan (67), Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul (69) and Japan’s Rio Takeda (69).

If Woad holds on to her lead in this $2 million tournament, then she’ll collect the second LPGA Tour title of her nascent career. She claimed the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open last July, less than two weeks after going pro.

Rasmus Dahlin scored once in a five-point game and Tage Thompson posted one goal and three assists to pace the visiting Buffalo Sabres to a 8-3 comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday and force a seventh game in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Jack Quinn tallied twice in a three-point performance, Zach Benson and Jason Zucker both collected one goal and one assist and Konsta Helenius and Zach Metsa added a goal apiece for the Sabres, who scored seven unanswered goals.

Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 18 saves after starter Alex Lyon was pulled when he surrendered three goals on four shots.

Game 7 will be Monday in Buffalo.

The winner will face the Carolina Hurricanes in the conference final.

Jake Evans collected one goal and one assist, while Arber Xhekaj and Ivan Demidov tallied once for the Canadiens.

Goalie Jakub Dobes was tagged for six goals on 33 shots before being pulled. Jacob Fowler stopped one of two shots in relief.

With his team trailing 3-2, Benson tied the clash when he cashed in a loose puck 60 seconds into the second period.

Quinn’s power-play marker at 10:54 of the frame, his first career playoff goal, put Buffalo ahead, and Helenius made it a 5-3 count by finishing a 2-on-1 rush at 12:59 of the period.

Quinn added his second of the game midway through the third period, Thompson netted an empty-net goal and Metsa notched his first career playoff goal with a late power-play marker — Buffalo’s fourth of the game — to round out the scoring.

It was a wasted opportunity for the Canadiens after holding a 3-2 lead at the first intermission. Buffalo tallied first when Dahlin converted the first shot 32 seconds into the clash, but Montreal responded with a trio of goals.

Xhekaj tied the game 68 seconds later on his team’s first shot for his first of the playoffs, Demidov put Montreal ahead on the power play at 8:12 and Evans added a short-handed goal at 10:14 to make it a 3-1 lead.

But Zucker sparked the Sabres with a power-play goal of his own at 13:56 of the wild frame and swung the pendulum the other direction.
