The 2022–23 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 56th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[2] On April 1, 2023, the Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the Buffalo Sabres.[3]
On June 17, John Tortorella was named the 23rd head coach in team history.[4]
No captain was named to replace the departed Claude Giroux, who signed with the Ottawa Senators as a free agent following his stint with the Florida Panthers.[5] In fact, only one player, Scott Laughton, was chosen by Tortorella to serve as an alternate captain throughout the entire season.[6] [7]
General manager Chuck Fletcher was fired on March 10 and replaced on an interim basis by Daniel Briere.[8] The interim label was removed from Briere’s title a month after the regular season ended.[9]
