Game 1 was a high-scoring affair between the two teams. The 4th-seeded ’19-’20 Ottawa Senators eventually won Game 1 by a final of 6-5. Frank Nighbor led the way for them as he posted a goal and four assists. Meanwhile, Hooley Smith posted four assists himself for the top-seeded ’26-’27 Ottawa Senators in the loss. Then, two goals in the third period from Jack Adams led the ’26-’27 Senators to a win in Game 2. The ’19-’20 Senators would take the next three games to win the series. Punch Broadbent‘s goal at the 6:12 mark of the first period in Game 3 was the game-winning goal as the ’19-’20 Senators won 4-1. The ’19-’20 Senators dominated Game 4 and won 8-0. Goaltender Clint Benedict pitched in a 28-save performance. Nighbor and Cy Denneny both posted five points in the win with them registering two goals and three assists and one goal and four assists, respectively. In Game 5, the ’19-’20 Senators scored three goals in the third to break a 1-1 tie and end the series with a 4-1 win. Nighbor’s three points led the offense yet again. Meanwhile, Hooley Smith was ejected late in the third period of Game 5 for head-butting. So, even in these simulated games, some teams can lose composure when they know they’re gonna get eliminated.
