Claude Giroux had two goals Friday as the Flyers beat the Canadiens 3-1. "This year he's really spread his wings," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "He's consistently one of the top forwards in the game." Giroux has 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) on the season. He entered the game second in the league behind Toronto's Phil Kessel. He is nearly halfway to his career best of 76 points, set two seasons ago. "He's a tremendous player," Montreal coach Jacques Martin said. "He keeps getting better year after year. Now he's a leader on their team."
