The Stanley Cup was in the house for this game 6 replay with Hockey Bones. Parent and Desjardins were the starting goalies. It was a penalty filled first period early on with the Flyers going 0-4 and the Sabres going 0-3 with the man advantage in the first. The Flyers also won a vast majority of the faceoffs, but found themselves in a 3-0 hole after 20 minutes.
Ramsay scored 4:48 into the game while the teams were skating 4 on 4, as the Sabres had scored first in every game of the series. Peter McNab would then score two goals just 1:51 apart as the 3rd and 4th lines were producing again for Buffalo. Shots were 12-10 Sabres after one with the Flyers not getting any shots in range, while the Sabres had six on Parent.
