Flyers' Claude Giroux: Game-winner seals deal in overtime

Giroux lit the lamp twice -- including the game-winner -- and added a plus-2 rating to go along with two PIM during a 3-2 overtime win against the Senators on Thursday.

Analysis:

After not scoring since Nov. 8, Giroux has now found twine in back-to-back games while firing toward net a total of eight times. The star center is starting to find his groove after setting up his teammates on a consistent basis -- 15 helpers through 25 games -- but he's not scoring at his usual clip. Giroux has cleared 20-plus goals five times in his career, and he's a good bet to reach that mark again, with a boatload of assists to boot.
