Regular season

edit

WithMike Keenan's firing, the reins were handed off toPaul Holmgren,[2]who presided over a club in flux with young players promoted to larger roles. The defense underwent a major overhaul, asBrad Marshwas claimed in thewaiver draftby Toronto, andDoug Crossmanwas dealt to Los Angeles forJay Wells.Gord MurphyandJeff Chychruncracked the lineup on the back line as well.

Tim Kerrwas fully healed from his shoulder surgeries and subsequent infections, whileRick Tocchet,Scott Mellanby,Murray Craven, Pelle Eklund and Peter Zezel were counted on to carry the offense. After a promising 5–1–0 start, a 4–15–1 slide cost Zezel his job, shipped off to St. Louis forMike Bullardafter Thanksgiving.

Following the deal, the Flyers went 13–2–1 to climb back over.500 and into solid playoff footing. However, youth and constant inconsistency derailed much progress to the top of the standings, and the team never went higher than three games above even.Mark Laforestwas replaced in March as backup by Maple Leafs castoffKen Wreggetwith the team reeling.

On the last day of the season, they fell 6–5 in overtime to the Penguins and into fourth place, asMario Lemieuxscored into an empty net. If the Flyers had scored using the extra attacker, they would have leapt over the Rangers into third place in thePatrick Division.Despite their mediocre record, their positive goal differential was a positive indicator that the team still had some life left.

The Flyers finished the regular season with the league's best power-play percentage, at 26.70% (98 for 367).[3]
