With the best-of-seven series now standing at 3-2 for Detroit. the teams meet again tonight. in Montreal. A seventh game, it he- CCSSRFY. W111 be played in Detroit Friday. Things looked black for I time Sunday night. when the cup-de- fending flying Frenchmen went through regulation time unable to break a scoreless deadlock. Then came the sudden death overtime and a goal by Ken Mos- dell to pull the Habs back into contention. It wasn't. all Mosdell though. A large pztrf. of the credit went to goalie Gerry McNeil. sent. into the nets to replace a wavering Jacq- ues Plante. Use of McNeil was a. gamble by Irvin. McNeil hadin't played in I regu- lar game since Feb. ll when he suffered an ankle injury in Chi- cago. Plante went like in house on fire for a while but didn't look partic- ularly good on several shots in the last two games Canadians dropped at home. Irvin, after making a couple of line shifts in order to pep up his scoring power, decided on a real shake-up. McNeil went in and Plante came out. Garye Stewart, with Buffalo all season and a standby for Canadians during the playoffs, was called in to take over a wing position. He fitted in well. Mosdell'a winning goal came un- expectedly. He started slowly from his own blue line. gathered speed and swung to the left. spun A- round the defence and let fly with a backhander from 20 feet out. lrvin’s Last-Minute Changes Produce Victory gall.
