11/25/2011 17:39 Giroux helps Flyers beat Canadiens
Claude Giroux had two goals, backup Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Friday.
Nokelainen spent 2010-11 with Jokerit Helsinki and made effective use of his ice time to rack up 116 sin bin minutes in 46 games to compliment 27 points (11 G, 16 A). If Nokelainen can get onto the ice and match his penalty pace with the Coyotes in 2011-12, he could force himself onto the outskirts of fantasy consideration if your league rewards PIMs. (Updated 8/16/11)
