A β played at Atlantic City, New Jersey. B β played at Peace Bridge, Buffalo, New York.
After a two-year absence, the Hawks would return to the playoffs, and face the second place team from the Canadian Division, the Montreal Canadiens, in the opening round in a two-game, total goal series.
The series opened at Chicago Stadium, however, despite a solid 38 save effort by goaltender Charlie Gardiner, the Canadiens defeated the Black Hawks 1β0 on a third period goal by Newsy Lalonde. Canadiens goaltender George Hainsworth made 34 saves for the win.
The second game moved to the Montreal Forum, as the Black Hawks were in a must-win situation. The Hawks Ty Arbour opened the scoring with the lone goal of the first period, scoring 1:38 into the game. Montreal tied the game midway through the second period on a power play goal by Howie Morenz. The Black Hawks Earl Miller restored the lead for Chicago just over three minutes later, as the Hawks led 2β1 after the second period. In the third period, the two teams did not score a goal, as the two-game total goal series ended in a 2β2 tie, forcing overtime. It wouldn't be until the third overtime period before a goal was scored, as Howie Morenz beat Charlie Gardiner midway through the third overtime period, as Montreal won the series by a 3β2 score.
