The Flyers were able to match pace with the Pittsburgh Penguins(2-1-1 record) and Detroit Red Wings(1-1-0 record) and they became a huge topic of discussion after acquiring Wayne Gretzky and going 16-2-1 down the stretch after the trade. Wayne Gretzky scored 32 points in the 19 games and was a huge catalyst in the surge of offense the Flyers had down the stretch, scoring 5+ goals in 9 of those games. Garth Snow ended up getting most of the starts as he and Ron Hextall were interchangeable(Snow: 35-11-4 2.48GAA, 91.1SV%/Hextall: 22-8-2 2.52GAA and 91.1SV%) and the duo will more than likely share the net in the post seasons.
