MoreThe game was played under NHA rules, with six players a side, just as the first and third game had been conducted. The second and fourth featured the West Coast Hockey League’s, seven-man version of the game.

It stood as the only goal for most of the game, until the Rosebuds tied things up eight minutes into the third. Weaving his way around the Portland defense before slipping the puck past goaltender Tommy Murray, Goldie Prodger put the Canadiens up 2-1 with four minutes left to play.
Newsy Lalonde’s crew clung to the lead, running out the remaining few minutes on the clock to capture the first Stanley Cup in Canadiens history.
