Claude Giroux scored a sick first goal in the preseason.

The former Flyers superstar had an outstanding debut season with the Ottawa Senators, driven by his desire to return home to the Ottawa area. During that season, he achieved an impressive 35-goal campaign with the team.

He continued his remarkable performance from the previous season into the preseason, notably scoring a stunning goal against Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit.


Such goals were a familiar sight during Giroux's 15-season career with the Flyers, providing pure enjoyment to Flyers fans as their leader. In the 2022-2023 season, he played all 82 games with the Senators, scoring 35 goals and tallying 44 assists for a total of 79 points, while maintaining a +4 rating.


There is a sense of optimism surrounding the Senators these days, fueled by the new ownership group led by Toronto native Michael Andlauer. This renewed hope is further bolstered by several changes made to the Senators' roster, including the acquisition of a new goaltender and the development of a strong core of young players, which adds credibility to the Senators' playoff aspirations this year.

Flyers fans are eager to see Owen Tippett have a better season, as he was one of the key pieces acquired in the Giroux trade two years ago.
