Flyers’ Giroux records 500th career point

Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup Saturday.

The Flyers captain ripped a perfect shot past Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue for the 500th point of his NHL career.

He is the fourth player from the 2006 draft class to reach the 500-point plateau, joining Nicklas Backstrom, Phil Kessel, and Jonathan Toews. It took him 554 games to reach the milestone.

The 28-year-old has 17 goals and 33 assists in 58 games this season.
