OTTAWA, Ontario — Claude Giroux now has five career points against the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring his 29th goal of the season in the Ottawa Senators' 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers on Thursday.
Giroux scored a goal in his first game ever against his former team back in November, but the Senators lost that game. However, he notched three assists on his trip to Philadelphia to help the Senators win, 4-1. He welcomed the Flyers back Thursday, and his goal against them gave the Senators the series, 2-1.
Giroux was sick for the game, but he didn’t look like it, zipping around the ice and showing off his skill. He had six shots on goal and won nine of 15 faceoffs. He and his teammates held off a comeback attempt from the Flyers.
