Couturier has a hat trick, 5 points, the Flyers top the Wild and end the 6-game losing streak

Marcus Foligno scored two goals for Minnesota (5-1-2), which lost in regulation for the first time this season and ended its four-game winning streak. Joel Eriksson Ek had a goal and an assist, Kirill Kaprizov had two assists and Filip Gustavsson had 16 saves.

“It was a little strange game,” Wild coach John Hynes said. “(We) had a few mistakes at the start and then I felt like we had the game in hand for a long time. … There were some clear things that cost us the game tonight, but I liked the resistance, the setback.” , Foligno also achieved a lot of good elements in the game.

Couturier made it 1-0 at 1:18 of the first period when he scored from the front on a rebounded shot from Ristolainen.

He scored on a similar play at 8:26 of the third period to make it 5-4.

“Especially when you're struggling on offense, that's usually where you find the back of the net,” Couturier said. “Whether it’s a lucky rebound from you or a second or third chance. And also, when I play with 'Meesh' (Michkov) and 'TK' (Konecny), my job is to just control the middle of the ice and create some space and get to the net and they'll make plays.”

Seeler made it 2-0 at 3:51 of the first period with a shot from the top of the circle.

Brock Faber made it 2-1 at 14:54 of the second period by redirecting a shot from Kaprizov, and Foligno scored 33 seconds later on a shot from the right side to make it 2-2.

“Our line, we played well all night,” said Foligno, whose goal was his first of the season. “It's frustrating to lose in a good game. Our line-up in the last three games has been really good. I’m just glad we’re getting going on offense and it’s nice to finally make some money.”

At 18:16, Michkov gave the Flyers a 3-2 lead. He scored with a shot from above the faceoff circle during a delayed penalty in which Ersson was pulled for an extra fielder.
