The hits keep coming for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Captain Claude Giroux and top-pair defenseman Ivan Provorov were placed on the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, January 4th, along with one staff member. This comes just one day after Jackson Cates, Nate Seeler, and one staff member were placed on the list on Monday.
Giroux is in the final year of his contract with the Flyers and continues to lead the team. The captain has 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 32 games this season. This will be the first game Giroux misses this year.
