Flyers’ Giroux: ‘We just need to win Game 4’

Despite being held without a point through the Philadelphia Flyers' three losses to the Washington Capitals, captain Claude Giroux certainly isn't lacking in confidence as he looks forward to Wednesday's game as his team sits on the brink of elimination.

"First thing we need to do is believe we can come back," he said, according to NHL.com's Adam Kimelman. "Can't be looking at the big picture and know we've got to win four games. ... We just have to win Game 4.

"After we win Game 4, we'll be able to get momentum and kind of go from there."

Giroux does have experience with coming back from three games down, being the only Flyer remaining from the 2010 team that won four straight to upset the Boston Bruins in seven games during the second round. That team went on to lose in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Flyers' top line of Giroux, Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds currently have the same number of points in the series as opposing goalie Braden Holtby - one.
