The captain was superb in this game, one which the Flyers desperately needed to play well in. He got the scoring started answering two straight goals from Carolina to open the game, giving the Flyers the boost they needed. He followed by assisting on the following three tallies that tied the game, gave them the lead, and gave them the lead again. This needed to be a huge game from the Flyers, and Giroux certainly didn’t disappoint.
Despite looking leaky at times, Elliott kept the Flyers afloat in the second period after they got the lead.
