Samuel Girard enters player assistance program

Rumors started swirling ever since Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard missed Monday’s game in Nashville for what was described as personal reasons but the team never said anything beyond what Jared Bednar gave in his post game presser.

Then a report from TVA Sports surfaced over the past day signaling that he was away at a clinic. They stated it was headaches that have take Girard away from the game which wasn’t entirely accurate but was enough on the right track for his father to comment on Facebook about some health situation Girard is going through.
