Despite being outplayed and outshot, the Rangers take game one, 3-2. Richard got his 7th postseason goal, and Ted Kennedy had 2 points in the win. Montreal’s Woody Dumart left the game with a sore back. He’s day to day.


Can Montreal win without Woody Dumart.

2 goals and 2 assists from the Rocket highlighted New York's 5-3 win in the second game of the series. The Rangers were much better in this one, controlling the play the whole time. Montreal’s Bill Gadsby, the teams best defenseman, hurt his back in this one, and is ruled out for the series.


Montreal loses Bill Gadsby for the series.

Back home at MSG, New York takes a strangle hold on the series with a 3-1 win. Max Bentley is the first star registering 2 points. Does Montreal have any fight left? Yes, yes the do! Frank Brimsek turned away 33 shots, leading the Habs to a 4-1 win avoiding elimination. Frank Brimsek shines again, making 39 saves in game 5. Tony Leswick scored his 4th playoff goal with 2 mins remaining to give the Habs a 2-1 win, extending the series again!


Brimsek keeping the Habs alive.

Ted Lindsay has just one playoff goal. Their best player and best defenseman remain out, but the Habs have fought back to make this a series. That ended in game 6. Maurice Richard gets 2 points, and the Rangers win the game 4-2 to take the series. For the third straight year, the Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!
