Flyers' Gostisbehere continues to bowl over fans
Philadelphia Flyers rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere's lucky streak recently extended from the ice to the bowling alley.
In addition to riding an NHL-record 13-game point streak for a rookie defenseman, Gostisbehere showed fine form while completing a tough spare during the Claude Giroux Foundation Bowling Event.

The Floridian has 11 tallies in just 38 games, with the goal total sitting just two shy of matching Behn Wilson (1978-79) for the franchise record among rookie blue-liners.
