Game 71 Preview: Flyers vs. Wild

John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers (26-32-12) are home on Thursday evening to take on Dean Evason's Minnesota Wild (41-22-8). Game time is 6:30 p.m. EDT.

This is the second and final meeting of the season between the inter-conference clubs, and the lone game in Philadelphia. On Jan. 26 in St. Paul, the Wild prevailed in overtime, 3-2, in a fight-filled game.

The Flyers enter this game coming off a 6-3 win over the visiting Florida Panthers on Tuesday evening. Philly is 2-1-1 during the current homestand. After enduring a 26-game goalless drought, Flyers winger Joel Farabee has scored in three straight games heading into this contest.

The Wild have been hot of late, going 7-1-2 over the last 10 games despite the absence of injured forward Kirill Kaprizov. Matt Boldy has eight points (5g, 3a) over the last five games. Minnesota enters this game coming off a 2-1 overtime road win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
