Sean Couturier had a hat trick, assisted on the game-winner by Rasmus Ristolainen and the Philadelphia Flyers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 7-5 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

The Wild (5-1-2) tied the game 3-3 on Joel Eriksson Ek’s power-play goal with 3.2 seconds left in the third period, and Foligno tipped in a Zach Bogosian shot from the point to give Minnesota a 4-3 lead early in the third period. But the Flyers kept coming, and the Wild buckled.

So Couturier went back to work and set up Rasmus Ristolainen’s close-range go-ahead goal with 2:24 to play and the Flyers went on to a 7-5 win on Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center, ending the Flyers’ six-game (0-5-1) winless streak.

The Philadelphia Flyers put an end to the Wild's four-game win streak behind Sean Couturier's hat trick and Rasmus Ristolainen's late go-ahead goal in a 7-5 Wild loss Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. It was a five-point night for Couturier, who also recorded a pair of assists.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Sean Couturier had a hat trick, assisted on the game-winner by Rasmus Ristolainen and the Philadelphia Flyers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 7-5 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The loss was the first in regulation for Minnesota and snapped its seven-game point streak to start the season.

Sean Couturier recorded a hat trick and two assists as the host Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Minnesota Wild 7-5 in an exciting Saturday matinee. Travis Konecny had a goal and four assists and Rasmus Ristolainen netted the game-winner for the Flyers,

Maybe it was because it was a day game and the building was packed. Maybe it was because the Flyers were in the NHL’s basement, one point ahead of the last-placed San Jose Sharks who were supposed to be there.

The Flyers showed signs of life at home Saturday as Sean Couturier and Matvei Michkov each found the back of the net. It's early in the 2024-25 season and the Flyers are still trying to find themselves.
