Daily News | Flyers honor Claude Giroux by breaking three-game skid with 5-4 win over Predators
Spurred by their desire to honor their captain in his 1,000th game, the Flyers overcame a third-period slump to beat the Nashville Predators, 5-4, breaking a three-game losing streak.
The intermission killed the energy. It fizzled further when the Predators scored 24 seconds into the second period on a Tanner Jeannot goal. With one swing, Cam York brought the noise back. His power play goal gave them the lead just a minute later. Giroux’s longtime teammate James van Riemsdyk then scored one for his friend to give the Flyers a two-goal lead.
“I think that was probably the coolest game I’ve ever been a part of,” Farabee said. “Just to play in a game or even to just be part of the team in a moment like that for a captain that’s played as long as he has, I think it’s a special moment and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”The team is well aware of the trade rumors that have been “swirling about” Giroux, Hayes said, and they’ve been impressed with how well he’s handled it.
“There would’ve been an interim to the interim coach if I would’ve put him out there and he would’ve blocked a shot at that moment,” Yeo said. While the special teams have been cause for concern in recent games, both the penalty kill and the power play improved. Against the Predators, the Flyers had a two-goal lead halfway through the second period. By the end of the second, they’d given up the lead, and a long stretch of uninspiring play ensued.
