Giroux scored the game-winning goal, a shorthanded tally just 36 seconds into the first period, in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward completed a 3-on-2 counterattack by wiring a shot past Petr Mrazek from the slot. Giroux's goal gave him an even 20 on the season, the 11th time in his career he's reached that mark, but he's having a fairly quiet finish to the campaign. He hasn't produced a multi-point performance since Feb. 13, and in 23 games since then he's managed just three goals and 14 points.

Giroux (illness) will be a game-time call for Thursday's matchup versus St. Louis, according to Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux has been under the weather. The 36-year-old has 19 goals and 57 points in 67 appearances this season. Confirmation on his status against the Blues likely won't surface until Ottawa takes the ice for pregame warmups.

Giroux scored his 19th goal of the season and also succeeded on his shootout attempt in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old ended a 13-game goal drought in timely fashion, kick-starting a third-period rally from a 2-0 deficit by tipping home a Boris Katchouk pass. Giroux then ended the shootout by blasting a slapshot off the post past Elvis Merzlikins. Despite the goal outage, Giroux has still produced four tallies and 13 points in 17 games since the All-Star break while filling a key role up front for Ottawa.

Giroux registered an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win versus Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux remains stuck in a 13-game goal drought and has managed just two assists in his last eight outings while generating seven shots. It's a far cry from his eight-game point streak coming out of the All-Star break. Despite the decrease in productivity, Giroux shouldn't be in danger of losing either his top six or power-play role.

Giroux scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Giroux was dominant on special teams. He helped open the scoring with a secondary assist on Brady Tkachuk's first goal of the game on the power play. Late in the first period and the Blue Jackets on the power play, Giroux snapped a shorty top shelf over the glove of Daniil Tarasov to give his team three consecutive goals in the frame. His third point was on Brady Tkachuk's hat trick goal on the power play once again. This was his first multi-point game since Jan. 16.

Giroux collected three assists, one on the power play, while adding four shots on net, four PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old continues to disregard Father Time and produce the kind of numbers he did a decade ago. Giroux has four multi-point performances in the last 11 games, a stretch in which he's racked up four goals and 13 points, and he's very nearly on pace for his first point-a-game campaign since 2018-19.
