Philadelphia Flyers vs. Minnesota Wild: Game Highlights

Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov scored for Minnesota. Quinn Hughes had two assists, and Wallstedt made 24 saves. The Wild are 3-0-2 in their last five.

Philadelphia outshot Minnesota 10-2 in the first period and scored the first goal when Andrae took a feed from Trevor Zegras in the high slot, skated in and fired a wrister that slipped between Wallstedt's pads with 1:24 to go in the period.

Boldy tied it with a power-play goal midway through the second, beating Vladar cleanly with a low wrist shot. Boldy's 37th goal of the season briefly tied him with Kaprizov for the Minnesota team lead.

However, late in the second, Kaprizov put the Wild on top 2-1 when he stick-handled through traffic in the slot and scored his 38th of season.

Hughes assisted on both second-period goals, giving him 60 assists for the fifth straight season.

Tippett tied it with a short-handed goal midway through the third period, capitalizing on a Wild turnover in the neutral zone and scoring on a slap shot from the blue line.

Up next Flyers: Host Columbus on Saturday night.

Wild: Host the New York Rangers on Saturday night.
