St. Louis didn’t have to wait too much longer to reach the 1,000 point milestone. The Rangers took advantage of some sloppy passing by the Flyers in their own end. Derek Stepan took a bad angle shot from the boards and the rebound went right to a streaking Martin St. Louis who made no mistake and buried his 9th goal of the season, and his 1,000th career point.
