2. The 11 goals were the most in a Stanley Cup Final game for 18 years.
The last time 11 goals were scored in a Final game also marked the last

4. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne combined for zero points and a -16 rating.

5. Hawks had no power plays, but won their sixth consecutive game and improved to 9-1 in their past 10 games.

6. Teams winning Game 1 of the Final have won the
Cup in 54 of 70 seasons (77%) since the League introduced the
best-of-seven format in 1939.

7. Hawks won 63 percent of faceoffs, Toews was (18-6, 75 percent).

8. Flyers forward Ville Leino (14 points) is one point shy of the franchise record
for points by a rookie in one playoff year, set by former Flyer all-star
Brian Propp in the club's run to the Final against Islanders in 1980 (5-10--15 in 19 GP).

9.  With his goal, former Ranger Blair Betts broke a 28-game goal drought (11 regular-season, 17 playoff).
