PHILADELPHIA - The Minnesota Wild rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to force overtime, then got a goal from Kyle Brodziak in the extra session to pull out a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
The dramatic victory keeps the Wild mathematically alive for the postseason. The Wild now trail Detroit by eight points for the final spot in the NHL Western Conference playoffs. But they have just eight games remaining, starting with tonight's road game against the Red Wings.
Martin Havlat and Andrew Brunette both scored in the third period to wipe out the Flyers' 3-1 lead. Marek Zidlicky also scored for the Wild, who got 32 saves from Niklas Backstrom. Brodziak took a hit from Ian Laperriere that left him dazed before scoring his second career overtime game-winner.
