SENATORS DUMP ST PATS IN 5 GAMES TO WIN NHL TITLE
It took the Ottawa Senators just 5 games to dispose of the Toronto St Pat's and win the National Hockey League title for the second season in a row.
Sprague Cleghorn got the hometown Senators off to a quick start in the series by scoring three times in the opening game as Ottawa prevailed 7-4. It would be the only 3 goals Cleghorn would score in the series.
Game Two in Toronto also belonged to the Senators as Punch Broadbent and Cy Denneny each scored twice in a 5-2 Ottawa victory. Two nights later Ottawa returned home and won a fight-filled contest 7-5 to take a commanding 3 games to none lead in the best of seven series.
Toronto avoided elimination on home ice with a 4-2 victory in Game Four but Ottawa wrapped things up in convincing fashion the next game with a 7-2 victory as Cy Denneny scored 3 times while linemate Jack Darragh would tally twice and add a pair of assists.
Ottawa will now wait for Pacific Coast Hockey Association champion Seattle to make the long trip east to challenge the Senators for the Stanley Cup. Ottawa won the Cup last year by beating the Metropolitans in Seattle.
