The Flyers lost in the Wales Conference finals to the Montreal Canadiens in six games. Regular season With Mike Keenan's firing, the reins were handed off to Paul Holmgren,https://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/02/sports/sports-people-2-nhl-coaches-hired.html SPORTS PEOPLE; 2 N.H.L. Coaches Hired The New York Times June 2, 1988 December 8, 2014 who presided over a club in flux with young players promoted to larger roles. The defense underwent a major overhaul, as Brad Marsh was claimed in the waiver draft by Toronto, and Doug Crossman was dealt to Los Angeles for Jay Wells. Gord Murphy and Jeff Chychrun cracked the lineup on the back line as well. Tim Kerr was fully healed from his shoulder surgeries and subsequent infections, while Rick 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 for Mike Bullard after 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 Laforest was replaced in March as backup by Maple Leafs castoff Ken Wregget with the team reeling. On the last day of the season, they fell 6–5 in overtime to the Penguins and into fourth place, as Mario Lemieux scored into an empty net. If the Flyers had scored using the extra attacker, they would have leapt over the Rangers into third place in the Patrick 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).https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_1989.html 1988-89 NHL Summary Season standings PHI Record vs. opponents PHI Playoffs Facing the first-place Washington Capitals in the first round, the Flyers pulled off the upset in six games. Ron Hextall managed to score another empty-net goal in the waning moments of Game 5, becoming the first NHL goalie to score a goal in the playoffs. The Flyers then came back from a 3 games to 2 deficit to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games to make the Wales Conference finals before bowing out to the Montreal Canadiens in six games. This would be the Flyers last playoff appearance until 1995.
