VIDEO: Flyers' Gostisbehere threads needle to push point streak to 14 games

It appears Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere won't go pointless the rest of the season.

The rookie defenseman threaded the needle to Michael Raffl for a tap-in goal against the Montreal Canadiens that extended his point streak to 14 games Friday.

The streak is now tied for the third-longest by a rookie since the 1987-88 season, and it's the longest point streak by a defenseman since Brian Leetch's 14-game run back in 1996.
