...games begin Dec. 28, and the two Russian clubs are going to be anything but pushovers. The Central Army team, a perennial power in Soviet hockey, will play with an attack line that may be the most potent in the world: Left Wing Valeri Kharlamov, a deft puck handler; Center Vladimir Petrov, a tireless speedster; and Right Wing Boris Mikhailov, a veteran considered by many to be "the soul of the team."

A late goal by Horton was responsible for the final score...
