Regular season
The Flyers recorded the best record in team history (points wise) with a record of 51–13–16 in 1975–76. They also tied the record set by the 1929–30 Boston Bruins for most consecutive home ice wins, with 20.[lower-alpha 2] The 1975–76 Flyers continue to hold the all-time records for most regulation wins at home[lower-alpha 3] The LCB line, featuring Reggie Leach at right-wing, Bobby Clarke at center, and Bill Barber at left-wing, set an NHL record for goals by a single line with 141 (Leach 61, Clarke 30, Barber 50). Clarke, on his way to a third Hart Trophy, set a club record for points in one season with 119.
The highlight of the season had no bearing on the season standings. On January 11 at the Spectrum, the Flyers, as part of the Super Series '76, played a memorable exhibition game against the Soviet Union's dominant Central Red Army team. As the Bullies had put intimidation to good use the past three years, the Flyers' rugged style of play led the Soviets to leave the ice midway through the first period, protesting a hit by Ed Van Impe on Valeri Kharlamov (whom Clarke had slashed on the ankle in the famous Summit Series '72). After some delay, the Soviets returned after they were warned that they would lose their salary for the entire series. The Flyers went on to win the game rather easily, 4–1, and were the only team to defeat the Red Army outright in the series. Head coach Fred Shero would proclaim, "Yes we are world champions. If they had won, they would have been world champions. We beat the hell out of a machine."[7]

Playoffs
Heading into the playoffs, the Flyers squeaked past Toronto in seven games and defeated Boston in five games, Game 5 featuring a five-goal outburst by Leach, the Riverton Rifle, to head to a third straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. However, the Flyers didn't come close to a third straight championship, as they ran into an up-and-coming dynasty in Montreal, and were swept in four straight games. Despite the loss, Leach was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for scoring 19 goals in 16 playoff games.

Records
The LCB line of Reggie Leach, Bobby Clarke, and Bill Barber set a number of franchise records during the 1975–76 season. The trios combined totals of 141 goals and 322 points is the most by one Flyers line.[19] Leach became the first Flyer to score 60 goals in a season, setting the high mark of 61.[20] Clarke’s 89 assists on the season tied his franchise record from the previous season and his 1.17 assists per game average is a franchise high.[21][22] Clarke was one of two Flyers to set a record franchise streak, going twelve consecutive games with an assist from March 11 to April 3.[23] The other was goaltender Wayne Stephenson’s 14-game home winning streak from January 4 to March 18.[24] Barber’s 380 shots on goal set a franchise single season high.[22] The team as a whole set the single season franchise records for most home wins (36, tied for the NHL record), fewest home losses (2), most points (118), and best points percentage (.738).[25][26][27] Their 20 consecutive home wins from January 4 to April 3 is also a franchise record.[28] During their April 1 game against the Washington Capitals, the Flyers recorded a franchise single game high 62 shots on goal.[29]
The Flyers set a number of franchise records during their quarterfinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. During game three on April 15, the team recorded 30 penalties and 107 penalty minutes, including 17 penalties during the second period, all franchise playoffs highs.[30][31][32] In game six on April 22, enforcer Dave Schultz set an NHL record with 42 penalty minutes in a single playoff game.[33] Tom Bladon and Leach also combined to score the two fastest goals in only eight seconds during the second period.[34] During the second period of game seven three days later, the Flyers scored five goals and set the team playoff records for the fastest three goals (1:21) and four goals (3:16), as well as the fastest two goals from the start of any period for one player (Mel Bridgman in 6:04).[35][36][37][38] The Flyers recorded a franchise single series high 33 goals scored and 295 penalty minutes while Schultz set the NHL record with 116 penalty minutes during the series.[39][40][41]
Conn Smythe Trophy winner Reggie Leach set or tied three NHL playoff records. His 19 goals scored during the playoffs is tied for the NHL record with Jari Kurri.[42] He scored the first and only five-goal game in team history during the fifth and final game against the Boston Bruins on May 6, which is also tied for the NHL record with four other players.[43] Leach’s 10-game goal scoring streak from April 17 to May 9 is an NHL record and his 11-game point streak from April 15 to May 9 is a franchise record.[44][45]

Notes
- The alternate captain position was abolished from the 1975–76 season through the 1984–85 season.
- Whereas the 1975–76 Flyers won all 20 at home in regulation, in the early days, teams have to win in regulation or overtime for it to count in the winning streak. Notably, 1929–30 Boston Bruins won 20 at home (18 in regulation). Now, current rules state a winning streak is wins in any manner. Most notably, the 2011–12 Detroit Red Wings, who are the current NHL record holders with 23 consecutive home wins, won only 19 in regulation (one in overtime and three in shootouts).[2][3][4][5][6]
- Prior to the 2011–12 Red Wings, one other team won at least 20 home games, this being the 1929–30 Boston Bruins (20 home wins, 18 in regulation).
- Clarke did not play and was replaced by MacLeish.
- Even-strength goal at 10:06 of the second period against Ron Low
- All five goals were scored at even-strength against Bruins goalie Gilles Gilbert as follows: at 5:45 of the first period, at 2:02, 8:51, and 17:09 of the second period, and 8:07 of the third period.
- The Capitals sent John Paddock to the Flyers on September 1, 1976, to complete trade.[50]
- The Flyers later received the Penguins' 1977 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th-round picks to complete the trade.
- The Flyers acquired the 1st overall pick from the Washington Capitals for Bill Clement, Don McLean and the Flyers' first-round pick, 18th overall, on June 3, 1975.[60]
