Handzus became the second NHL player to ever score an overtime goal on a penalty shot, the first being David Legwand of the Nashville Predators two years earlier.OT penalty shot wins it https://www.chicagotribune.com/2002/12/06/ot-penalty-shot-wins-it/ Chicago Tribune September 13, 2024 December 6, 2002 In early December, the Flyers swapped defensemen with the San Jose Sharks, sending Dan McGillis west in exchange for Marcus Ragnarsson. In his sixth season with the Flyers, McGillis' offensive production had dropped considerably since his career best 49-point season during the 2000–01 season while Ragnarsson was viewed as a steadier, stay-at-home defenseman who could better complement rookie Dennis Seidenberg and, later, the offensively inclined Kim Johnsson. Ragnarsson signed a two-year contract extension with the club in February. Approaching the season's midway point, the Flyers started January with six straight wins as well as ten wins in their first eleven games of 2003 before losing four straight heading into the All-Star break. Injuries to young wingers Simon Gagne (groin strain) and Justin Williams (torn knee ligaments) forced both out of the lineup for extended periods, prompting the Flyers to acquire winger Sami Kapanen from Carolina on February 7. Three more trades followed in the days leading up to March 11 trade deadline. On March 1, veteran defenseman and former Flyer Dmitri Yushkevich was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings for two draft picks. A week later, a fifth-round draft pick was sent to the New York Islanders for fourth-line centerman Claude Lapointe. The Flyers made their biggest move on the eve of the deadline, acquiring former 40-goal scorer Tony Amonte from Phoenix for prospect Guillaume Lefebvre, a 2003 third-round pick, and a 2004 second-round pick. These moves plus LeClair's return to the lineup spurred a 10–2–2–0 run that saw Philadelphia finish one point behind the New Jersey Devils for the division title. The Flyers goaltending tandem of starter Roman Cechmanek and backup Robert Esche proved reliable during the regular season, combining for eight shutouts.2002-03 NHL Summary https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2003.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20231120015016/https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2003.html November 20, 2023 November 18, 2023 Hockey-Reference.com Cechmanek, who had a club single season record 1.83 goals against average, was voted the team's most valuable player. The team tied New Jersey for the fewest goals allowed with just 166, earning Cechmanek and Esche a share of the William M. Jennings Trophy with Martin Brodeur.

The others were defensemen Eric Desjardins and Eric Weinrich. In what was regarded as a return to form after a disappointing 2001–02 season, Desjardins was the team's plus-minus leader and voted best defenseman for the seventh time.
