It sounds to me like the publication quoted below holds disappointing news for you...Sounds like you're going to lose this tree to spare the others. I'm sorry.

"Sapstreak disease, caused by the fungus Ceratocystis coerulescens, is a serious threat to sugar maple forests. Although the disease is causing only minor damage at present, it has the potential to become an important problem. Sapstreak is a fatal disease; infected trees do not recover. In addition, timber salvage value is low because the wood is discolored.

"Sapstreak has been reported in isolated areas of North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Vermont. Only sugar maple is affected. At present the best sapstreak control method is prompt removal of newly discovered infected trees to prevent spread to nearby healthy trees. The disease is spread by insect disseminated-ascospores and endoconidia that infect trees through root and basal trunk wounds."
