Despite only scoring a goal over those 10 game he's still produced six points over that span. Continue to start the team's top-line center with confidence.

Power play units split apart. Jagr, giroux and voracek
Giroux is practicing at full speed and may play against the Stars tomorrow. However, the Flyers are in no rush to get him back into the lineup if it means longer concussion-like symptoms.
#Flyers Claude Giroux out on the ice skating with the team at practice in Colorado.
Fantastic sign for Giroux, who has been sidelined for over a week with a concussion. The top-line center has been skating and working out without symptoms which can only mean good things.
#Flyers GM Paul Holmgren: "Giroux's status remains the same. We will have an update on Pronger tomorrow, once we have spoken to the doctors"
Flyers are taking a wait-and-see approach with their young superstar. Prepare for the worst, fantasy hockey owners.
Paul Holmgren said that Claude Giroux skated today for about 15 minutes and that's when he said he felt sluggish.
Giroux skating was a positive sign but concussion-like symptoms have to be seen as a setback of some kind.
Claude Giroux is out indefinitely after taking a knee from teammate Wayne Simmonds to the back of the head. After the first couple days, Giroux said he was feeling fine, but the Flyers played it cautiously. The result on Tuesday is exactly why.
Expect Sean Couturier to get a crack at the top line with Giroux out. At this point there is no timetable for his return as his symptoms have gotten worse.
Claude Giroux will not travel w the flyers to Washington
Remember to keep G out of your lineup for the time being. Stay tuned for a further update on the universally owned forward.
VOORHEES, N.J. — It would have been a surprise if he was on the ice, but Claude Giroux wasn’t on Monday morning for team practice. As expected, the Flyers are holding him out after he was hit in the head on Saturday night by Wayne Simmonds’ right knee and left the game. General manager Paul Holmgren said that he didn’t have headaches after the game and that on Sunday he was feeling better.
Not practicing with the team is a good indication he won't play against the Capitals. Stay tuned for a further update from the team but expect them to play it safe.
Claude felt better this morning. He will be evaluated again tomorrow morning.
Giroux was held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons but it remains to be seen if he will play as soon as Tuesday.
Giroux was shaken up in a collision with teammate, Wayne Simmonds. Giroux had fallen to the ice, and the big winger attempted to jump over Giroux to avoid him. But Simmonds’ knee hit Giroux in the head, and Philadelphia’s MVP stayed on the ice for a few moments before skating slowly to the bench.
Absolutely brutal news on the universally owned Giroux. Not only was the Hearst, Ontario native leading the League in points, he already posted two helpers prior to getting hurt. Expect a further update on his status.
Last 10 Games for Giroux (including tonight) 6goals, 10 assists! Tonight his 3rd 3 Point Game in last 10 GM's. Kid is unreal!
If you drafted Giroux, you are a savvy fantasy hockey GM. He should be owned in 100 percent of leagues.
Cold Streak
Giroux is -5 over last 4 games
Despite five goals and eight points over his initial seven games, Giroux is a minus-5 over his past four games.
