Claude Giroux gave Ottawa Senators fans a night to remember Monday evening and a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes was just a small part of the celebrations.
With a goal and an assist in the first period Giroux joined an illustrious group to reach 1,000 career NHL points. He then added the winning goal in the third period."Yeah, I mean, I have a lot of family here right now," said Giroux. "So, it's special and my wife and my two boys are here and my parents and it was really cool."
Captain Brady Tkachuk had a secondary assist on the play and motioned to his teammates to join him on the ice to celebrate the moment. "Thankfully we did it in the first period," joked Tkachuk. "So, for me, for the both of us, just to kind of contribute, just a little part of his unbelievable career. Honestly we've talked about it, it's truly special for the both of us."
"They're a couple goofs and we have a lot of, I don't know if I'm supposed to say that word, but you know, we have so much fun every day," said Giroux. "They make me feel young. They give it to me pretty much every day, so I personally like it. So it's fun coming to the rink every day." The Hurricanes , who had a game in hand, hold a one-point lead on the New Jersey Devils for first place in the Metropolitan Division, but failed to make the most of the opportunity.
