Claude Giroux has won his fifth Bobby Clarke Trophy as the Philadelphia Flyers’ Most Valuable Player. This is a franchise record since the award’s inception in 1985 with Giroux surpassing the four awards won by Eric Lindros.

Giroux is from Hearst Ontario and is part owner of the NOJHL’s Hearst Lumberjacks. Giroux entered Thursday’s game with 30 goals and 67 assists for 97 points, all of which are career highs. It’s bumped him from 10th to 5th on the Flyers all-time scoring list.

Giroux represented the Flyers at the 2018 NHL All-Star Weekend in Tampa, making his fifth career All-Star appearance. He was also the NHL’s First Star for the week ending February 11, and from the start of that week (Feb. 5) until now, Giroux has 15 goals and 24 assists for 39 points in 28 games.
