PHILADELPHIA —<\/strong> The Minnesota Wild (3-3-1) fell to the Philadelphia Flyers (4-2-1) with a final score of 6-2 at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things got off to a hot start when current Wild forward Pat Maroon and former Wild forward Nicolas Deslauriers dropped the gloves on the opening faceoff. Five minutes each for fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ve fought before. We were just trying to get our teams going, both of us,” said Maroon on the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

F Travis Konecny struck first for the Flyers at 13:57 with a shot past G Filip Gustavsson’s mask that buried in the top right of the net. Konecny was assisted on the play by D Nick Seeler, an Eden Prairie, Minn. native, who spent parts of three seasons with the Wild (2017-20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shots on goal at the end of the first period favored Philadelphia 12-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia moved to a 2-0 lead after a power play goal scored by F Sean Couturier. Minnesota was put on the penalty kill after F Vinni Lettieri was called for holding at 7:11 of the second period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota was unsuccessful again on the penalty kill after D Jake Middleton was called for cross-checking at 8:34. Consequently, F Bobby Brink made it a 3-0 game at 9:51 with Philadelphia’s second PPG of the contest. A native of Minnetonka, Brink recorded his first NHL goal against his hometown team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flyers out-shot the Wild in the second frame 13-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D Dakota Mermis ended G Carter Hart’s shutout bid when he netted the first Wild goal of the night at 3:05, cutting the lead slightly 3-1. With an assist on the goal, D Jon Merrill reached the 100 career point milestone (18-82=100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F Marcus Foligno scored his second goal of the season to make it a 3-2 game only 1:25 after the Mermis goal. He was assisted on the play by F Marcus Johansson and F Marco Rossi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The luck didn’t last long for the Wild as F Owen Tippett capitalized on a breakaway at 6:33 of the third to make it a 4-2 game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same game he scored his first NHL goal, Brink scored his second at 11:02, 5-2 Flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philadelphia forecheck remained unrelenting. D Travis Sanheim scored at 14:46 to further the lead 6-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
