Player Focus: Claude Giroux’s third period mistake proves costly

Flyers’ captain Claude Giroux has had a strong start to the season, scoring eleven points across nine games, but last night may have been his worst game of the season. He was held without a point for just the second time and left the game a -3, although one of those minuses came from an empty net goal against. Great timing on my part by choosing him yesterday, eh?

Giroux’s night actually started really strong, making his presence felt in the first shift of the game by making a fantastic defensive read that denied Erik Johnson of a high danger chance at the net.
