Brad Richards was helped by teammate Martin St. Louis in the off-season. While the two were not teammates in the off-season as St. Louis was still a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning, St. Louis helped train Richards after a difficult playoff in which Richards was a healthy scratch in the last two games against the Bruins in Round 2 of the 2013 playoffs. "Rock bottom," Richards said about how he felt after last season. "I was at rock bottom and I turned to Marty to help me rebuild my confidence. He was the perfect guy for me to go to and he was there for me. Training with him last summer, I leaned on him. It was inspirational for me." This season has been a different story as Richards leads the Rangers with five goals in 15 games and has 10 points.
