The league was made up of two five-team divisions, and the second- and third-place teams would play a series for the right to play the regular-season division champion. The winners of the two division series would then meet for the Stanley Cup.

The first teams to meet in this new finals system were the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins. Strangely, Games one and three were ruled ties. Both the teams were knotted after twenty-minute overtimes but then the games were called draws because of bad ice conditions. The Senators team won Games two and four, so they were ruled the champions since the Bruins team could not have caught them. The Senators expelled the defenseman of the Boston team that is Billy Couture from the NHL for assaulting two referees in Game four, a 3-1 win. Various players from the teams were also fined 350 dollars for what was referred to as wild acts of intimidation. Star players Cy Denneny, Alex Connell, Hec Kilrea and Frank Nighbor led the Senators.

As well as sole control of hockey's greatest trophy, the Stanley Cup, the Ottawa Senators won that for the ninth and final time. Finally Ottawa Senators won the match with hardworking.
