The 1974 Summit Series was the second of two competitions between Soviet and Canadian professional ice hockey players, following the same format as the 1972 Summit Series, with four games across Canada and four in Moscow. The Soviet team won the series 4–1–3, with Canada's lone victory at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. A significant difference from the previous series was that Canada's roster was selected from the World Hockey Association instead of the National Hockey League.[1]
The top scorer of the Soviet team was Alexander Yakushev (5+3), as well as Vladimir Petrov (2+6), and Valery Kharlamov (2+5). On the Canadian side, Bobby Hull (7+2), Backstrom (4+4), G. Howe (3+4) and Lacroix (1+7) scored.[2]
