, and the Black Hawks, who won a club record 30 games at home, continued their dominance, easily defeating the Flyers 5-2 and 6-2 to take a 2-0 series lead. The series moved to the Philadelphia Spectrum for the next two games, however, the Hawks were too much to handle for the Flyers, as Chicago won a close third game by a 3-2 score, before sweeping Philadelphia out of the playoffs with a 6-2 win in the fourth game.
Chicago's next opponent was the New York Rangers
, who had finished the season with a 49-18-11 record, earning 109 points, and a second place finish in the East Division. The Rangers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs
in their first playoff series. Since the Black Hawks won their division, they were given home ice advantage in the series.

Chicago evened the series in the next game, shutting out New York 3-0. The series shifted to Madison Square Garden
for the next two games, and the Rangers won the third game of the series by a 4-1 score, however, Chicago fought back in the fourth game, demolishing New York 7-1 to once again even the series. The fifth game was back in Chicago, and the Hawks took the series lead for the first time with a 3-2 overtime victory. Back in New York for the sixth game, the Rangers would push the series to the limit, with their second overtime victory of the series, setting up a seventh and deciding game in Chicago. The Black Hawks used their home ice advantage, and held on for a 4-2 victory, to win the series, and earn their first trip to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1965.
The Black Hawks opponent was the Montreal Canadiens
, who finished the season with a 42-23-13 record, earning 97 points, which was good for third place in the East. Montreal then upset the heavily favored Boston Bruins
in the first round, followed by defeating the Minnesota North Stars
in the second round. The series opened with two games at Chicago Stadium, and the Hawks took a commanding 2-0 series lead, defeating the Canadiens 2-1 and 5-3. The series shifted to the Montreal Forum
for the next two games, and the Canadiens evened the series with two home wins of their own, by scores of 4-2 and 5-2. The fifth game returned to Chicago, and the Black Hawks stayed hot at home, shutting out Montreal 2-0 to take a 3-2 series lead. The Hawks, looking to wrap up the series in the sixth game in Montreal, however, the Canadiens forced a seventh and deciding game, winning by a score of 4-3. In the seventh game at Chicago Stadium, where the Hawks were 7-1 during the playoffs, the Black Hawks would have a 2-0 lead halfway through the game, but the Canadiens cut into the lead when Jacques Lemaire
scored on a shot from center ice that got past Hawks goaltender Tony Esposito
. The Canadiens tied the game at two before the end of the second when Henri Richard
scored, setting up an intense third period. Richard once again scored 2:34 into the period, giving Montreal a 3-2 lead, and Canadiens goaltender Ken Dryden
kept the Black Hawks off the scoreboard for the rest of the game, as Montreal would win the Stanley Cup
in dramatic fashion for their third championship in four years. The Canadiens were the second team in NHL history, the other the 1945 Toronto Maple Leafs
to win a game seven on the road in the Stanley Cup
final.
