Soviet Union overwhelms Stingers in Cincinnati 9-2 rout
The touring Soviet Union hockey team crushed the Cincinnati Stingers 9-2 as Cincinnati’s tired lineup, playing its fourth game in five nights, failed to mount a comeback. Boris Mikhailov opened the scoring early in the second period as the Soviets erupted with four goals and added four more late. Limiting Cincinnati to 20 shots, the Soviets benefited from nine players scoring and Valeri Kharlamov assisting three times. The Stingers, facing Edmonton's Oilers next, received a small crowd of 2,571 amid a savage ice storm and bitter wind.
