Claude Giroux will not be playing in his native province on Saturday.

The Philadelphia Flyers' star center will miss the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs with an upper-body injury and is considered day to day, the team announced.

Giroux was the recipient of a P.K. Subban hit late in the third period of Friday's game in Montreal. He left the game briefly, but was able to return for overtime and participated in the shootout. No penalty was called on the play.

The Hearst, Ontario native and Flyers captain has appeared in all 57 games this season, and leads the team in scoring with 49 points.
