Flyers Preview: Voracek, Giroux think they can improve

Flyers right winger Jake Voracek had a career season in 2014-15, and his linemate, center Claude Giroux, has been the NHL's leading point producer over the last five years.

Both think they can be better.

Giroux, 27, is coming off an odd, 73-point season that placed him tied for 10th in the NHL. The captain said he needs to improve his defense and his five-on-five play. Inexplicably, he didn't score his first even-strength home goal last season until March 25.

"I'm definitely not at my peak. I have a lot of things to work on," Giroux said.
