Between 1976 and 1991, the NHL, and the Soviet Championship League would hold several exhibition games between the two leagues known as the [[Super Series]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hhof.com/IZone/jsps/GamesSummarySS.jsp|title=Super Series Summary|publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame|website=www.hhof.com|year=2013|access-date=March 4, 2022|archive-date=March 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304215544/https://www.hhof.com/IZone/jsps/GamesSummarySS.jsp|url-status=dead}}</ref> No NHL club had played a Soviet or Russian-based club from the end of the Super Series in 1991 to 2008 when the New York Rangers faced [[Metallurg Magnitogorsk]] in the [[2008 Victoria Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thehockeynews.com/news/victoria-cup-will-be-played-using-blended-iihf-nhl-rulebook|title=Victoria Cup will be played using blended IIHF, NHL rulebook|date=September 26, 2008|access-date=March 4, 2022|publisher=Roustan Media|website=thehockeynews.com|archive-date=March 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304215544/https://thehockeynews.com/news/victoria-cup-will-be-played-using-blended-iihf-nhl-rulebook|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
In addition to the Russian clubs, NHL clubs had participated in several international club exhibitions and competitions with various European-based clubs. The first exhibition game to feature an NHL team against a European-based team (aside from clubs based in the former Soviet Union) was in December 1977, when the New York Rangers faced [[HC Kladno|Poldi Kladno]] of the [[Czechoslovak First Ice Hockey League]].
