Description search icon English Flag
Czech referee Rudolf Baťa and Swede referee Ove Dahlberg officiated the seventh game, and it was announced that the German referee pair of Josef Kompalla and Franz Baader had been sent home and Baťa and Dahlberg would referee the final game, in exchange for a promise that Bergman would not publicly berate Bobrov.

Harry Sinden described tactical training in this way: "Before the match, we made one significant rearrangement, which turned out to be very useful. During the last two games, the Russians did not miss Esposito, so he did not score goals. He was controlled by Petrov. Then we decided to outsmart them by playing four lines. We knew that our opponents were unlikely to break up their team to counter this."

Team Canada won game seven by a 4–3 score to even the series 3–3–1. In the first period, Phil Esposito scored two goals while Yakushev and Petrov tallied for the USSR, ending the first period tied 2–2. The second period was scoreless. In the third, Gilbert put Canada ahead, but Yakushev scored again to tie the score 3-3. At 17:54, Henderson fooled Soviet defender Tsygankov with a pass through the Soviet's feet, then skated around him to pick up the puck and break in on Tretiak. As Henderson shot and scored, Valeri Vasiliev tripped Henderson who did not see his shot go in. The goal light went on and off quickly and Team Canada rushed onto the ice to congratulate Henderson before there was any doubt raised about the goal. The Soviet coach Bobrov publicly blamed the loss on Tsygankov. After the game, Henderson commented about the goal as the "one that gave him his most personal satisfaction ever".

The game also featured a controversial incident. At 16:26 of the third period, a scuffle broke out between Canada's Bergman and the USSR's Mikhailov, in which Mikhailov tried to kick Bergman twice.
