J.C. Tremblay scored on Glenn Hall at 11:40 of the third period in game 4 to make the score 3-2 for the Montreal Canadiens. That would hold as the final score. On May 11, 1968 at the Montreal Forum, the Habs secured their third Stanley Cup championship in four years by sweeping the St. Louis Blues.

Dick Duff opened the scoring for the Habs late in the first period. The Blues came back with a pair of goals in the second, scored less than a minute apart. They carried that 2-1 lead into the third until Henri Richard scored at 7:42, assisted by Tremblay, to tie it.

Hall was admirable again in the St. Louis net, stopping 28 of 31 shots. Despite losing the game and series, Glenn was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. Gump Worsley made 19 saves in the win.
