Claude Giroux: Won't play Saturday

Giroux (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Analysis:

The exact nature of Giroux's ailment remains unclear, but he's considered day-to-day with the issue, so it likely won't hold him out long term. The 28-year-old center's owners will be disappointed by his absence Saturday, as the Leafs have been terrible of late. Toronto has lost five of its last six games, allowing at least four goals in each of those defeats. The Flyers should provide another update on Giroux's status ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Carolina.
