Peter Stastny and Michel Goulet, teammates on the Quebec Nordiques in the late 1980s, joined the Hockey Hall of Fame Wednesday.

Stastny made international headlines in 1980 when he, his pregnant wife and brother Anton fled then-Czechoslovakia to North America to play for Quebec.

Stastny was the 1980-81 NHL rookie of the year and went on to score 450 goals in 15 seasons in the NHL for Quebec, New Jersey and St. Louis. He retired after the 1994-'95 season and is now a scout for the Blues.

Goulet, who retired a year earlier, scored 548 goals over 15 seasons with Quebec and Chicago to put him 16th on the NHL's all-time list.

Last year's Hall of Fame inductees were Mario Lemieux, Bryan Trottier, Edmonton Oilers general manager Glen Sather, Hockey News founder Ken McKenzie and longtime Philadelphia Flyers radio voice Gene Hart.
