Eller suffered and upper-body injury in the first period of the Canadiens loss to the Blackhawks last night. He will be replaced by Sven Andrighetto, who will make his NHL debut after being recalled last night.
Giroux was originally ruled out for the next two games, but called GM Ron Hextall before the game tonight and said he felt “fine”. The Flyers got Giroux to the arena and he will be in the lineup tonight on a line with Brayden Schenn and Jakub Voracek. Giroux has 21 points (5G / 16A) in 16 games this season.
Giroux reportedly walked into the arena with a walking boot. This comes a day after the Flyers said that Giroux was “fine” and then announced that he would miss the next two games. So Giroux will take part in warmups and should be considered a game-time decision.
Giroux suffered the injury in practice on Monday and will he will miss tomorrow’s game vs. the Rangers. Giroux’s injury did not sound serious, according to GM Ron Hextall he could also miss Thursday’s game, but should be back for Saturday vs. the Wild.
MacArthur now has 13 points in 17 games this season.
With the start of the season two and a half weeks away, the Flyers caught a break with the severity of their captain's injury. Still, this is not the way Giroux wanted to start his season. However, it should not hurt his value on draft day, he should be ready for the Flyers' season opener on October 8th.
MacArthur recorded 24 goals and 31 assists with a plus-12 rating in 79 games with the Senators last season. The 29-year-old has scored 20 goals in each on the last three 82-game seasons so expect fourth straight in 2014-15. On a rundown Senators offence, Mac will once again play a considerable amount of minutes this season.
Eller, 25, scored 12 goals and added 14 assists (26 points) with a minus-15 rating in 77 games with the Habs last season. It was a less than stellar season when you consider the fact he put up four more points in the shortened season. At $3.5 million per season, the Canadiens will be expecting better production out of the Denmark native over the next four seasons.
Ellier is a late scratch for Wednesday's game, he will be replaced by Dale Weise in the Habs lineup.
Eller missed just one game with a lower-body injury. Eller will replace Dale Weise (wrist) in the Habs lineup.

MacArthur will not play Monday, but the Senators are off all week after tonight, so he should be ready to go vs. the Habs on Saturday. Tonight, Mike Hoffman will skate in his spot on the second line once again.

Eller served as a healthy scratch on Wednesday, but will get back into the lineup on Thursday vs. the Coyotes. Eller has struggled mightily as of late after a hot start to the season. In Eller's last 21 games he has recorded just one assist, his last goal was on December 31.

Perron will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight, but monitor his status prior to Saturday's contest.
Perron was scheduled to have an MRI on his neck on Friday, so the illness he was dealing with seems to have passed, but now he is dealing with a neck injury. He will miss his second straight game tonight when the Oilers take on the Red Wings. He is eligible to return for Edmonton's next game, Tuesday vs. Florida.
