Playoffs[]

The Hawks would open the playoffs in a 2 game total goal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and for the 1st time in team history, the Black Hawks won the series by a score of 4–3 with Stewart Adams scoring the series winning goal in overtime. Next up was a 2 game total goal series against the New York Rangers, and Charlie Gardiner would shine by shutting New York out in both games, as the Hawks won the series by a 3–0 score and earn a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Montreal Canadiens. The Hawks would lose the first game of the best-of-5 series, but then would win 2 in a row in overtime to take a 2–1 series lead. Montreal would respond with a 4–2 victory in game 4, and then the Canadiens would put away the Black Hawks with a 2–0 win in the 5th and deciding game, ending the Black Hawks dream of winning the championship one win short.
