Delvecchio Third 1000-Point Man
ICE CHIPS: Already assured of their best total point seasons are Pete Stemkowski and Alex Delvecchio … it’s been a memorable season for each. Stemkowski scored 20 goals for the first time in his six-season pro career and has been everything the Wings hoped he’d be… and a little more. Delvecchio became the NHL’s third 1,000 point man, joining Gordie Howe and Jean Beliveau while running up his best point total in 18 seasons. And unfortunately, he probably will miss out on the All-Star team again. Howe broke his single season assist record of 49 and could break Andy Bathgate’s record of 58 for a right wing. BERRY…

Closing-Season Slowdown Not Worrying Blues
“you like 7UP 7UP likes you” “you like 7UP 7UP likes you” ST. LOUIS, Mo.— Will the St. Louis Blues, who roared through the regular season like an express train to grab off the Western Division title, be able to maintain their momentum for the Stanley Cup action? They suffered their longest losing string of the season as they hit the road early in March to play at Toronto, Montreal, New York and Pittsburgh, losing all four. But they got back home to the St. Louis Arena to wrap up the Clarence S. Campbell Trophy by knocking off the Oakland Seals before another typical standing-room-only crowd of 15,136.
