Line Change
The chemistry between newcomer Jaromir Jagr and Claude Giroux has been something to behold over the past several games, and the team’s improved power play unit. In Thursday night’s 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils at Wells Fargo Center, both were on full display. The dynamic duo of Giroux and Jagr combined on the game-winner with just over seven minutes left in regulation, and the power play accounted for each of the two Flyer tallies.
Jagr appears to have clicked with Claude Giroux, expelling most thoughts that he was tough to play with. A translation of last season's KHL stats would put the superstar in the 70 point range over a full season. At this point that looks like a steal in the 11th round.
