Which Soviet club faced Gretzky's WHA All-Stars in a 1979 three-game series?

The WHA All-Stars faced Dynamo Moscow in a three-game series in 1979.

The series took place at Edmonton Coliseum from January 2 to 5, 1979, replacing the WHA’s usual single All-Star Game with a test against a leading Soviet club. The WHA team drew players from the league’s six surviving franchises and included Gretzky among its forwards.

The WHA All-Stars won all three games: 4–2, 4–2, and 4–3. The opening game was especially memorable because Gretzky played on a line with Gordie Howe and Howe’s son Mark, combining with them for a notable offensive performance.

Dynamo Moscow is sometimes styled Moscow Dynamo in English, but both names identify the same Soviet club. The matchup is often confused with CSKA Moscow, the powerful Red Army team that featured prominently in other Canada–Soviet hockey encounters.
