During the 1920-21 season, Ottawa featured Clint Benedict as the league's finest goaltender, while forwards such as Cy Denneny, Jack Darragh and Frank Nighbor ranked among the world's best. Not to be outdone by his brother Corbett who had six goals earlier in the year, Cy Denneny scored six times against Hamilton on March 7. He finished second in the NHL in goals, with 34.|
