On April 16, 2024, the Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention following a 2–1 loss to the Washington Capitals.[2] The Flyers suffered a late season collapse, as the team had 36-26-9 on March 23, only to fail to get a win in their next 8 games.[3]

Regular season

On February 14, Sean Couturier was named the 20th captain in franchise history, ending a nearly two-year stretch the Flyers had opted not to name a replacement for Claude Giroux. Travis Konecny was named an alternate captain along with Scott Laughton, who had been the lone Flyer to wear a letter under head coach John Tortorella.[4][5][6]
