As most hockey fans know, 1980 U.S. Olympic captain Mike Eruzione never played another game after the U.S. beat the Soviet Union and Finland in the medal round in Lake Placid. But 13 of the 20 players from that 'Miracle On Ice' team went on to play in the NHL.

Some appeared in just a smattering of games. Others, such as Neal Broten who skated for 17 seasons, had more distinguished and productive careers.

Here's a look at each of their NHL stories, in alphabetical order:

Players From USA Hockey's 1980 'Miracle On Ice' Team Who Competed In The NHL Slideshow

The defenseman who scores the tying goal with 27 seconds left in the Olympic opener against Sweden, Baker plays three NHL seasons with the Canadiens, Rockies, Blues and Rangers.

Broten plays 17 seasons in the NHL, mostly with the Minnesota North Stars. He scores the series-clinching goal for the Devils in the 1995 Stanley Cup Final against Detroit. He becomes the first U.S. player to net a Cup-clinching goal.
