Not Claude Giroux's finest moment.
Capitalizing on a flubbed pass off the Flyers captain's stick, Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad pounced on the errant attempt, danced past Giroux, and zipped a slap shot past Steve Mason on Thursday night.
The shorty was just Ekblad's second tally in his last 34 games - quite the way to break a slump.
