The 1995β96 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers 29th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the Spectrum's final season the Flyers repeated as Atlantic Division champs and clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but the Flyers lost in the Conference Semifinals to the Florida Panthers in six games.
Building on the success of the lockout season, the Flyers began the year with a 7β1 rout in Montreal over the Canadiens. An early 5β0β1 stretch was derailed in a 5β4 loss to Chicago on October 22, in which Dominic Roussel turned in a poor performance in net. It would be one of several in the early going which forced head coach Terry Murray to favor Garth Snow as the backup to Ron Hextall.
Lindros was hurt in early November, and the club limped to a 2β4β1 record in his absence. However, after his return they ripped off eight straight wins as part of a 12β2β2 stretch which put them in contention in the Atlantic Division with the Florida Panthers. However, the momentum switched and the club struggled to a 3β6β7 record thereafter.
A 3β2 home overtime win over Montreal on February 1, in which defenseman Petr Svoboda was elbowed in the head by Marc Bureau, finally lit a fire under the team. In addition, the trade-deadline acquisition of Dale Hawerchuk, who was needed in Mikael Renberg's absence, spurred a 13β3β0 charge at the end of the season. Thanks to a 6β5 Bruins win over the Penguins on the final day, the Flyers gained the top spot in the Eastern Conference following a 3β1 win over Tampa.
Lindros hit the 100-point mark in a 3β0 win over Hartford on March 25, while LeClair netted his 50th goal of the season in a 5β1 win in New Jersey on April 10. In an ironic twist, Avalanche forward Claude Lemieux notched the game-winning goal on a fluke shot in a Colorado 5β3 win in Philly on February 11. With the Devils the previous June, Lemieux hit the net from 50 feet out to give his club a 3β2 win in Game 5 of the conference finals.
On April 2, the Flyers scored three short-handed goals in a 6β2 win over the New York Islanders. [2]
On April 11, the Flyers organization celebrated the final regular-season game in the Spectrum. The home team took care of their end, topping the Canadiens 3β2. After the game, an emotional torch-passing ceremony saw past and present team members skating alongside each other, with a symbolic transference of leadership from Bobby Clarke to Lindros.

With the top spot in the Eastern Conference, the Flyers drew their division rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, coached by former Flyer Terry Crisp. After a 7β3 Philly home rout in Game 1, Lightning goalie Daren Puppa was spectacular and Brian Bradley notched the OT winner in a 2β1 Game 2 triumph. Former draft pick Alexander Selivanov ended Game 3 in Tampa with an overtime goal. Hawerchuk and LeClair provided leadership and goals in a 4β1 road win in Game 4, then the Flyers won 4β1 in Game 5 at the Spectrum. The Flyers closed out the series with a 6β1 score in Game 6 at the Thunderdome.
Next up in the conference semifinals were the Florida Panthers, a team which relied on goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck and the neutral zone trap for success. Vanbiesbrouck posted a 2β0 shutout in Game 1, and it took until midway through Game 2 for the Flyers to get rolling offensively in a narrow 3β2 win. Game 3 saw Flyers veterans Dan Quinn, Hawerchuk, Desjardins and Hextall set the tone in a 3β1 victory.
The Flyers were defeated in overtime in Game 4 and double-overtime in Game 5. The Panthers ended the Flyers' season in Game 6.

The 1995β96 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers 29th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the Spectrum's final season the Flyers repeated as Atlantic Division champs and clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but the Flyers lost in the Conference Semifinals to the Florida Panthers in six games.
Building on the success of the lockout season, the Flyers began the year with a 7β1 rout in Montreal over the Canadiens. An early 5β0β1 stretch was derailed in a 5β4 loss to Chicago on October 22, in which Dominic Roussel turned in a poor performance in net. It would be one of several in the early going which forced head coach Terry Murray to favor Garth Snow as the backup to Ron Hextall.
Lindros was hurt in early November, and the club limped to a 2β4β1 record in his absence. However, after his return they ripped off eight straight wins as part of a 12β2β2 stretch which put them in contention in the Atlantic Division with the Florida Panthers. However, the momentum switched and the club struggled to a 3β6β7 record thereafter.
A 3β2 home overtime win over Montreal on February 1, in which defenseman Petr Svoboda was elbowed in the head by Marc Bureau, finally lit a fire under the team. In addition, the trade-deadline acquisition of Dale Hawerchuk, who was needed in Mikael Renberg's absence, spurred a 13β3β0 charge at the end of the season. Thanks to a 6β5 Bruins win over the Penguins on the final day, the Flyers gained the top spot in the Eastern Conference following a 3β1 win over Tampa.
Lindros hit the 100-point mark in a 3β0 win over Hartford on March 25, while LeClair netted his 50th goal of the season in a 5β1 win in New Jersey on April 10. In an ironic twist, Avalanche forward Claude Lemieux notched the game-winning goal on a fluke shot in a Colorado 5β3 win in Philly on February 11. With the Devils the previous June, Lemieux hit the net from 50 feet out to give his club a 3β2 win in Game 5 of the conference finals.
On April 2, the Flyers scored three short-handed goals in a 6β2 win over the New York Islanders. [2]
On April 11, the Flyers organization celebrated the final regular-season game in the Spectrum. The home team took care of their end, topping the Canadiens 3β2. After the game, an emotional torch-passing ceremony saw past and present team members skating alongside each other, with a symbolic transference of leadership from Bobby Clarke to Lindros.

With the top spot in the Eastern Conference, the Flyers drew their division rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, coached by former Flyer Terry Crisp. After a 7β3 Philly home rout in Game 1, Lightning goalie Daren Puppa was spectacular and Brian Bradley notched the OT winner in a 2β1 Game 2 triumph. Former draft pick Alexander Selivanov ended Game 3 in Tampa with an overtime goal. Hawerchuk and LeClair provided leadership and goals in a 4β1 road win in Game 4, then the Flyers won 4β1 in Game 5 at the Spectrum. The Flyers closed out the series with a 6β1 score in Game 6 at the Thunderdome.
Next up in the conference semifinals were the Florida Panthers, a team which relied on goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck and the neutral zone trap for success. Vanbiesbrouck posted a 2β0 shutout in Game 1, and it took until midway through Game 2 for the Flyers to get rolling offensively in a narrow 3β2 win. Game 3 saw Flyers veterans Dan Quinn, Hawerchuk, Desjardins and Hextall set the tone in a 3β1 victory.
The Flyers were defeated in overtime in Game 4 and double-overtime in Game 5. The Panthers ended the Flyers' season in Game 6.
