PHILADELPHIA — The slumps looked similar, but the circumstances weren't.
While the Flyers are floundering toward the draft lottery, the Wild is very much in a playoff race.
And eventually, the urgency of that situation translated to the ice where the team rallied 5-4 on Thursday in front of 13,876 at Wells Fargo Center to ditch its four-game losing streak.
After the Wild tied Philadelphia four times, the team finally seized the lead on a point shot from Jonas Brodin with 7 minute, 19 seconds to go in the third period for just its second victory over its last eight games.
Just 25 seconds before that, Matt Boldy capitalized to make it 4-4.
Frederick Gaudreau and Ryan Hartman also scored for the Wild, with Hartman setting a new career high and Gaudreau racking up his third goal over the past four games. Kevin Fiala had two assists and in net, Cam Talbot made 26 saves to snap his four-game slide.
Almost immediately, the Wild was in comeback mode.
The Flyers, who had dropped seven of their past eight games, converted early as Scott Laughton intercepted a Marcus Foligno pass in the offensive zone for a breakaway that he polished off with a backhand shot at 3:49 of the first period.
Hartman answered back at 11:50 when he directed in a Mats Zuccarello pass, a play that their linemate Kirill Kaprizov also factored in to even the score. The goal was Hartman's 20, which exceeded the career-best 19 he tallied as a rookie in 2016-17 with Chicago.
