It remains advantage Detroit with a win over Montreal but the home side almost completed a three-goal comeback. Parker MacDonald joins the forty goal club with a pair of powerplay tallies but it was Norm Ullman's goal on the man advantage to make it 3-0 that would prove to be the game winner. The Canadiens scored at a great time through Henri Richard's goal twenty seconds before the end of the second period, but Terry Sawchuk was solid through the third as Detroit were outshot 15-9 in the period only letting in one more goal with just over two minutes to play.

Vic Hadfield played both hero and villain by scoring his first game winning goal of the season on a great solo play after spending five minutes in the box for boarding. Toronto did not score in that second period powerplay but took the lead on their next man advantage through Dave Keon's fortieth goal of the year. New York also scored their first goal on a 5-on-4 situation before the end of the period with Kent Douglas in the box as he played his bad boy role with eight penalty minutes on the night. Both teams found their discipline in the final period where the Rangers got goals from Hadfield and Rod Gilbert while Gump Worsley stopped seventeen shots during those twenty minutes to give Toronto their first defeat in ten games.
