6 months agoOttawa Senators forward Claude Giroux kept his hot scoring run going with two goals in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Colorado. Giroux was a man on a mission all night, producing a game-high seven shots on goal, and he was finally rewarded for his efforts in the closing stages of the game. The veteran was kept off the score sheet in the first couple of games of the season, but he has put together a six-game point streak with five goals and four assists since then. Giroux has only had two longer point streaks since 2020-21.

6 months agoOttawa Senators forward Claude Giroux (personal) will play in Thursday's curtain-raiser against Florida. The veteran has missed some practice time this week due to the birth of his third son. Giroux will slot into the first line and is set to skate with the second power-play unit. He was limited to only one point in four meetings with his former team last season, and this is definitely a difficult challenge for Giroux & Co. However, the building in Ottawa should be buzzing with excitement, and the Panthers were leaky at the back in their season opener against Boston on Tuesday, allowing four goals.
