Flyers' Playoff Hopes Crushed: Season Finale Loss Sets Stage for High Draft Stakes
Matvei Michkov scored two of the Flyers’ goals, while Tyson Foerster and Bobby Brink had the other ones.
The club’s draft lottery odds were set with the loss (more on that below).
The Flyers finished the season 33-39-10. The 76 points marked an 11-point drop-off from 2023-24, when the Flyers were knocked out of the playoff race on the final day of the season. They’ve now gone five straight seasons without a postseason berth, matching the franchise’s longest drought.
This season, the Flyers had undeniable regression, which led to their rebuild going into another gear down the stretch. They fired John Tortorella with nine games to go and went 5-3-1 under interim head coach Brad Shaw. They lost 15 of their last 21 games (6-13-2) to end the season tied with the Bruins for the Eastern Conference’s worst record.
