Bobby Clarke Trophy – Claude Giroux

The Flyers captain has asserted himself as the best player on this team. He started the season with only seven points in the first 15 games. Since scoring his first goal against Edmonton, Giroux has earned 30 points in his last 26 games. If Giroux continues at this pace, he will finish the season averaging at least a point per game for the third straight season. It is not only the points that make Giroux the team MVP, but it is the way and time in which he gets them. His game winning goal against Columbus and his breakaway goal against Vancouver are just two examples of Giroux putting the team on his back and leading them to victory.
