It was in powerplay at the score 4-1 at halfway into the third period that the Canadian received the puck at the curb, but lost the balance.

Still kneeling, he managed to dribble on and could, with nice wrists, lie behind Jakub Voracek's 5-1 which was the final result.

In total, Giroux has scored 46 points (16 + 30) in 60 games this season and he has just passed 800 points in total in his career.

Lost shots big

The Flyers lost the shot with a full 15-29 but still won the match by clear 5-1. Columbus goalkeeper Elvis Merzlikins saved eight of a total of twelve shots before substituting 3.40 in the third period.

- If you look at the shot statistics you are obviously disappointed. We occasionally played them, but it's about scoring goals, ”said team captain Nick Foligno.

The loss was the Blue Jackets sixth on the rake.
