The 1992–93 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers 26th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers added Eric Lindros in a blockbuster trade, but the team failed to make the playoffs for the fourth season in a row.
In June 1992, the Flyers won the arbitration battle for 1991 first-overall pick Eric Lindros over the New York Rangers. It was determined that the Quebec Nordiques had made a deal with the Flyers before making a deal with the Rangers. In order to acquire Lindros' rights, the Flyers parted with six players, trading Steve Duchesne, Ron Hextall, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, Chris Simon, the rights to Peter Forsberg, two first-round draft picks, and $15 million to Quebec.
The trio of Lindros, Mark Recchi, and Brent Fedyk formed the Crazy Eights line in Lindros' first two years in the league, the eights being the player's jersey numbers (88, 8, and 18 respectively). Recchi set the franchise record for points in a season with 123 (53 goals, 70 assists) and Lindros scored 41 goals in 61 games. Rod Brind'Amour added 86 points (37 goals, 49 assists) of his own. Four Flyers reached the 30-goal plateau and goaltender Tommy Soderstrom finished with 5 shutouts: second in the NHL only to Ed Belfour of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Flyers didn't name a replacement captain after was traded the previous season and instead chose to go with three alternate captains. After struggling early the Flyers made a run at the playoffs, winning their final eight regular-season games, but came four points short of the last spot.
The Flyers had the fewest power-play opportunities during the regular season, with 399.
