Giroux took almost 1200 faceoffs.
I really dont pay that much attention to who plays with who on the Flyers but that certainly doesnt scream winger.
Patrick was 7th among forwards for PP time per game. 7th in ES ice time. Was not used on the PK.
He was used as a 3rd liner by any metric....playing behind Couturier and Giroux.
