Montreal @ Chicago
Montreal travelled to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks in pre-season action. 11,563 fans came out to watch at Chicago Stadium.
Montreal jumped out to a quick 3 goal lead. Goals came from Howie Mornez, Alex Smith and Sylvio Mantha. Each scored their 2nd, 1st and 1st goal of the pre-season. Cecil Dillion assisted on 2 of the 3 goals while Howie Mornez also had 1 assist. It looked all but over after 13 minutes. At the 14 minute mark though, Bun Cook scored to make it a 2 goal lead. Assists went to Pit Lepine and Jim O'Neil.
It wasn't looking good into the 3rd period for Chicago. They had to make something happen fast if they wanted to make anything out of this game. Georges Mantha made it a 1 goal game with assists going to Ebbie Goodfellow and Babe Siebert. Chicago had all the momentum and it looked like we would go into the 3rd period with the score 3-2 until King Clancy scored with 28 seconds left in the 2nd. Well it was a new game.
The 3rd period was all evens until the 13th minute when Red Horner and Bun Cook decided to drop the gloves. It seemed to change the momentum in Montreals favour as they scored the game winner just a minute later. Hec Kilrea scored the winner with Howie Mornez and Heldge Bostrom getting assists.
Earl Robertson made a start making it the 3rd different goalie in 3 games to start for the Canadiens. He made 26 saves on 29 shots while Lorne Chabot made 28 saves on 32 shots.
Howie Mornez was 1st start with 1 goal and 2 assists, Bun Cook was 2nd star with 1 goal and Cecil Dillion was 3rd with 2 assists.
Next we travel to New York to face the Rangers
