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.
Macarthur and armstrong flank connolly on a line this morning at leaf practise.
MacArthur gets moved onto Connolly's line. He has nine goals and 12 points through 22 games but hasn't registered a point in three games.
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.
MacArthur out with upper-body injury tonight.
Stay tuned for a further update on the wounded winger.

James Reimer says he's cleared to play.
Reimer is expected to backup tomorrow night but should get back between the pipes shortly.
Line Change
Just a thought: If James Reimer is healthy enough to dress as backup Saturday, shouldn't he be healthy enough to start in Boston?
Reimer will at least backup Jonas Gusatavsson so remember to activate him.
Line Change
James reimer will likely backup saturday in boston. Probable start could come monday in new york.
If you see Reimer on your waiver wire, it may be a good idea to preemptively grab him. Prior to getting hurt, the Manitoba native held a 4-0-1 record with a 2.58 GAA and .912 SV%.

James Reimer with his own net at practice. A return later this week seems possible.
If you see Reimer on your waiver wire, it may be a good idea to preemptively grab him. Prior to getting hurt, the Manitoba native held a 4-0-1 record with a 2.58 GAA and .912 SV%.
Reimer still 10-plus days away.
Reimer continues to make progress but needs a few weeks of practice before he gets back into a game. It sounds like the Leafs are playing it slow with their starting goalie.
"I thought I was getting better and I thought the way it was going along and the way it was progressing that I was going to be ready to go, but things just kind of plateaued and they've plateaued ever since," he explained. "And now finally the last week the symptoms have kind of been getting better. It's been great and I've felt great the last five days."
Reimer continuing to practice is a welcome sign for fantasy hockey owners and Leafs fans alike. While he has no firm timeline to recover, he is expected to take part in a full practice this Thursday.
James Reimer on the ice for fifth consecutive day, splitting net with Ben Scrivens.
Reimer continues to practice and must be doing so without setbacks. Expect him to get back into a game within the next couple of weeks which should give the Leafs a boost.
