For the second year in a row, the Stanley Cup-winning goal was scored in overtime. When Chicago's Harold "Mush" March netted the series-winner at 30:05 of overtime, the Black Hawks captured their first Cup victory.
Chicago's Chuck Gardiner limited Detroit to two goals in his club's three victories, while Detroit goaltender Wilf Cude led the Red Wings to their only win of the series in game three despite suffering a broken nose midway through the contest. Cude stopped 52 of 53 Detroit shots in the deciding game, while Gardiner turned aside all 40 Black Hawk blasts. Gardiner had been plagued by severe headaches all year. Two months after the Stanley Cup series he died of a brain hemorrhage.
