Kansas City Blades beat the Soviet Wings 7-2 at Kemper Arena to reach an even 15-15-2 after 30 games. Led by left winger J F Quintin who scored twice, KC adopted a Russian style of finesse and strong goaltending to throttle the Wings.

Blades face hard road with Dyck in net and long road trip
Kansas City Blades goalie Larry Dyck owns a 6-1-1 mark in seven starts since waivers from Milwaukee, with a sub 2.5 goals against average. The team has played nine straight games decided by three goals or more, winning 19 of 33 by three or more. They have tightened defense, holding opponents to about 25 shots over six games after a 42-shot stretch. The plan includes road games in Atlanta Houston and Peoria with a New Year’s Eve $7 ticket special and postgame skate. The Wings lead the division 17-7 and KC beat them 3-0 early, then cooled. The coach notes fatigue and tougher competition, but remains optimistic.
