GAALeader=Doug Favell (2.81)The 1971–72 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers fifth season in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Bobby Clarke continued to progress as he led the team in goals (35), assists (46), and points (81) in 1971–72 and he became the first Flyer to win an NHL award, the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. However, in the season's final game, the Flyers needed a win or a tie against the second-year Buffalo Sabres to beat out Pittsburgh for the final playoff spot. The score was tied late in the game, but with just four seconds on the clock, former Flyer Gerry Meehan took a shot from 80 feet away that somehow eluded Flyers goalie Doug Favell. [FlyersHistory.net, [http://www.flyershistory.net/cgi-bin/boxscore.cgi?19710544 Philadelphia-Buffalo boxscore from April 2, 1972.] ] The Flyers lost the tiebreaker to Pittsburgh and missed out on the playoffs for the second time in three years.
