Giroux (leg) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Giroux missed the morning skate, but is listed as a game-time decision. He was listed as GTD on Saturday as well and did not come out for warmups, that is not likely to be the case tonight. Giroux did jump on the ice late in the skate just to shoot some pucks, so monitor his status during pre-game warmups.

Giroux (leg) is probable to play on Saturday in New Jersey.

Giroux left Saturday’s game with a leg injury and did not return. Giroux was cut near his ankle and he originally feared that he severed his Achilles tendon. "It was pretty scary," Giroux said. "I tried to get up, but it felt really weird. I tried to put pressure on it, but it didn't feel too good.” The injury obviously looked worse than it was and he is expected to be in the lineup tonight vs. the Devils.

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 will be out two weeks after suffering a lower-body injury in training camp.

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.

Giroux is still searching for his first goal.

Giroux has just three assists and a minus-5 rating in nine games so far. The Islanders might give him reason to have hope that it could come Saturday. He has seven goals and 21 assists in 25 career games against them, his best point-per-game average against any NHL team.

Giroux made his preseason debut last night after sitting out early in training camp recovering from hand surgery.

“I felt better as the game went on,” Giroux said. “I think the first period was just getting back in the game and making plays.” Giroux won 9 of 11 faceoffs, which is a good sign that his hand is OK.

Flyers announce Claude Giroux will make his preseason debut tonight, following Aug. 15 hand surgery.

Giroux injured his hand in a golf incident this offseason. This is good news for the Flyers as it appears the injury will not force their star center to miss any regular season games. Giroux is one of the NHL's best playmakers and could make a run at the assists lead in 2013-14.
