Claude Giroux demands respect to be put on his name as the Philadelphia Flyers enter a road trip after a victory.
Not long ago, the Philadelphia Flyers roster was unable to outscore the New York Rangers. The reformatted top-six forwards curated all of the goals while players quarantined in COVID protocol. In those two games without any returning players, the Flyers had a goal differential of -5.
When Claude Giroux returned Wednesday night, his impact rippled throughout the lineup. His fingerprints were found on three separate scoring plays, canceling out Chris Kreider’s hat trick.
