There was unforgotten drama in Montreal’s Forum that night of April 7, 1928, as Rangers and Maroons battled in the second game here of the Stanley Cup finals.

This has increased the Hornets’ lead in the Western Division to six points over the Buffalo Bisons.

The Rhode Island squad won their fourth straight game when they downed the cellar-dwellers…
