Giroux is still searching for his first goal.
Giroux has just three assists and a minus-5 rating in nine games so far. The Islanders might give him reason to have hope that it could come Saturday. He has seven goals and 21 assists in 25 career games against them, his best point-per-game average against any NHL team.
Cold Streak
Giroux called Friday's practice, which featured conditioning drills, the "hardest of the year."
Giroux is mired in a slump to start the season with only 3 assists in 8 games. Look to try and buy low on the talented young forward.
Giroux made his preseason debut last night after sitting out early in training camp recovering from hand surgery.
“I felt better as the game went on,” Giroux said. “I think the first period was just getting back in the game and making plays.” Giroux won 9 of 11 faceoffs, which is a good sign that his hand is OK.
Flyers announce Claude Giroux will make his preseason debut tonight, following Aug. 15 hand surgery.
Giroux injured his hand in a golf incident this offseason. This is good news for the Flyers as it appears the injury will not force their star center to miss any regular season games. Giroux is one of the NHL's best playmakers and could make a run at the assists lead in 2013-14.
Giroux is pushing to make his preseason debut on Tuesday against the Devils.
Giroux has been practicing for over a week, his first extended action since injuring finger tendons in a freak golf accident in late August. He will visit doctors for clearance once the Flyers return home from their Lake Placid trip on Sunday.
