Suspensions and fines
The 2011-12 Philadelphia Flyers season was the team's 45th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers lost in the second round of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs to their crosstown rivals, the New Jersey Devils, in five games. In July 2011, veteran Jaromir Jagr joined the Flyers as a free agent, his first time in the NHL since the 2007-08 season. The season was also Chris Pronger's last in the NHL. After appearing in three Stanley Cup Finals and winning one with the Anaheim Ducks, Pronger had not played since November 2011 after battling several injuries and suffering from post-concussion syndrome. In 2013, Claude Giroux would replace Pronger as the Flyers' captain. Pronger's absence left Jean-Sebastien Giguere of the Colorado Avalanche as the last remaining active Hartford Whaler in the NHL at the time.
