Flyers retire Lindros' No. 88

The Philadelphia Flyers retired Eric Lindros' No. 88 during a pregame ceremony Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

Lindros stood at center ice and watched as an orange-and-white banner with his name and number was lifted toward the rafters. He became the sixth player in franchise history to have his number retired, joining fellow Hockey Hall of Famers Bernie Parent (No. 1), Mark Howe (No. 2), Bill Barber (No. 7) and Bobby Clarke (No. 16) as well as Barry Ashbee (No. 4).

Now 44 years old, Lindros played his first eight seasons in Philadelphia and was selected to six All-Star Games during that span. He scored at least 40 goals four times with the Flyers and is the franchise's all-time leader with 1.35 points per game.

During the 1994-95 season, Lindros won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player. He helped the Flyers reach the Stanley Cup Final two seasons later, but the club was swept by the Detroit Red Wings.

Lindros finished his career with the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars. He amassed 372 career goals and 865 career points in 760 games, including 290 goals and 659 points in 486 goals with Philadelphia.

Multiple concussions prevented Lindros from achieving more in his career. He retired at age 34 in 2007.
