Looks like captain Claude Giroux is out for the Flyers game
against the New York Rangers tomorrow. The Flyers media surprised fans with a
tweet stating that Giroux missed the season-ticket holder event and was being
evaluated by doctors. That is all they said Monday, so it made a lot of people
anxious. Yesterday, the Flyers had a pretty physical practice with a lot of
hitting apparently. Giroux did not seem hurt as practice went on, and he left
fine as well. Today, news broke that he has an ankle injury and will definitely
be out of the lineup for Wednesday night’s game in New York. General Manager,
Ron Hextall, said he is hoping that he is out for days instead of weeks. That
sounds great… With Giroux off of the top line, head coach Craig Berube has
moved Brayden Schenn up to the first line to center Voracek and Simmonds.
Schenn has been playing extremely well and he is currently on a five game point
streak. He deserves to have a chance on the top line again. The players will
really need to step up their game as they look to end their two game losing
streak. Get better soon, G!
