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.
