Montreal 5 at Chicago 2 Dickie Moore's goal at 17:57 of the first period put the Montreal Canadiens in front 2-1, a lead they would never relinquish as they won going away, 5-2. The win for Montreal tied the best-of-seven semi-final at two games apiece. Ex-Hab Dollard St-Laurent tied the score for the Black Hawks after Phil Goyette opened the scoring. Second period goals by Billy Hicke and another by Moore and a third period tally by Hicke were too much for the Hawks. Stan Mikita scored the other Chicago goal on a rebound of a Bobby Hull shot.
The two goals for Moore were a redemption of sorts -- he drew a penalty in game three which caused Montreal coach Toe Blake to take a swing at referee Dalton McArthur. NHL President Clarence Campbell hit Toe with a $2,000 fine for those actions. The Hawks were playing without Ab McDonald, a key member of the Scooter Line with Mikita and Kenny Wharram. Despite losing, Hall was sensational in the nets for the Black Hawks. They were outshot 26-4 in the first period alone, and an incredible 60-21 for the game. The Canadiens were a powerhouse and were trying to win their sixth Stanley Cup in a row. But the Hawks, with Hall tending the nets, polished off Montreal in six games in this series and Detroit in the next, to put an end to Montreal's reign and claim the Stanley Cup.
