Many are left puzzled as the NHL has a history of not suspending the stars in the playoffs. However, Giroux will miss an important Game 5 for the Flyers
Apparently no injuries to Voracek or Giroux per Holmgren.
Giroux abruptly left practice leading to speculation that he might be hurt. The superstar center has 22 goals and 68 points in 54 games. Wellwood filling in likely means this absence is maintenance related.
When Giroux left mid-practice, they had Eric Wellwood change jerseys and fill in as C on his line.

Giroux, an ultra-intense competitor, has one goal in his last 10 games.
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.
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.
