PHILADELPHIA – There was nothing textbook about the Wild's strategy, and its effort didn't win any style points either.
But considering the circumstances, the destination became more significant than the journey.
After rallying four times, the Wild finally passed the Flyers 5-4 on Thursday in front of 13,876 at Wells Fargo Center to ditch its four-game losing streak.
"The two points is all that really matters," Matt Boldy said.
By overcoming four deficits en route to victory for the second time this season (also a 6-5 overtime decision on Oct. 19 vs. Winnipeg), the Wild became just the third team in NHL history with two such wins in a single season; the 1985-86 North Stars and 1989-90 Penguins are the others.
"When you get down in these kind of low points, it takes a game like that to kind of get out of it," Ryan Hartman said.
Just 25 seconds after Boldy provided the last equalizer, wiring the puck behind Philadelphia goalie Carter Hart, Jonas Brodin capitalized on a point shot with 7 minutes, 19 seconds left in the third period to cap off the comeback.
"I got a pretty good open lane there, so I just tried to put everything into it and luckily it went in," said Brodin, who scored for the first time since Nov. 30 to end a 20-game drought.
