This Montreal win coupled with Toronto's tie against the Red Wings has both teams tied on sixty-nine points as they continue to battle for second place in the standings, while New York are a point behind Detroit for the final playoff berth. Gump Worsley was overworked in the Rangers goal facing thirty-six shots across the first two periods, but it was until after the first intermission that the Canadiens found a while through. Ralph Backstrom scored twice, including his fourth game-winner of the season, as he, Jean Gauthier (1+1) and Claude Provost (0+2) had multi-point nights.
