The Flyers celebrate the upcoming induction of Mark Recchi into the Flyers Hall of Fame and 50th anniversary of the 1974 Stanley Cup champion Flyers with an alumni game on Friday.

Before the newest draft picks are made, here’s some of the recent first-round picks at 7th and 22nd overall, including some former Flyers.

At the start of the 1979-80 season, the Flyers opened with a win over the Islanders on Oct. 11 and a loss to the Atlanta Flames two nights later. Their third game of the season was the next night on Oct. 14, and the Flyers squeaked out a 4-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. That was the start of a streak that lasted nearly three months and spanned 35 games.
