Great to see Giroux making progress as we now know he suffered a neck injury, not a concussion.
Many are left puzzled as the NHL has a history of not suspending the stars in the playoffs. However, Giroux will miss an important Game 5 for the Flyers
No word on the extent of the injury but take Giroux out of the lineup tonight. He scored 28 goals and 93 points in 77 games.
Giroux abruptly left practice leading to speculation that he might be hurt. The superstar center has 22 goals and 68 points in 54 games. Wellwood filling in likely means this absence is maintenance related.

Despite only scoring a goal over those 10 game he's still produced six points over that span. Continue to start the team's top-line center with confidence.

Even if Giroux doesn't play tomorrow he remains very close to returning. Check back for a further update tomorrow after practice.
Giroux is practicing at full speed and may play against the Stars tomorrow. However, the Flyers are in no rush to get him back into the lineup if it means longer concussion-like symptoms.
Fantastic sign for Giroux, who has been sidelined for over a week with a concussion. The top-line center has been skating and working out without symptoms which can only mean good things.
Flyers are taking a wait-and-see approach with their young superstar. Prepare for the worst, fantasy hockey owners.
Giroux skating was a positive sign but concussion-like symptoms have to be seen as a setback of some kind.
Expect Sean Couturier to get a crack at the top line with Giroux out. At this point there is no timetable for his return as his symptoms have gotten worse.
Remember to keep G out of your lineup for the time being. Stay tuned for a further update on the universally owned forward.
Not practicing with the team is a good indication he won't play against the Capitals. Stay tuned for a further update from the team but expect them to play it safe.
Giroux was held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons but it remains to be seen if he will play as soon as Tuesday.
Absolutely brutal news on the universally owned Giroux. Not only was the Hearst, Ontario native leading the League in points, he already posted two helpers prior to getting hurt. Expect a further update on his status.
If you drafted Giroux, you are a savvy fantasy hockey GM. He should be owned in 100 percent of leagues.
