Game 65: Flyers @ Wild
Mike Yeo's Philadelphia Flyers (21-34-11) are in St. Paul on Tuesday to take on Dean Evason's Minnesota Wild (40-20-4). Game time at the xCel Energy Center is 8:00 p.m. EDT (NBCSP+, 93.3 WMMR).
This is the second and final meeting of the season between the teams, and the lone game in Minnesota. On March 3 at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers held four separate one-goal leads but came away with a 5-4 regulation loss.
The Flyers enter this game coming off a 5-4 road loss to the Nashville Predators. Winners of six straight games, the Wild are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the visiting Colorado Avalanche.
Noah Cates will make his NHL debut for the Flyers in this game. Carter Hart will get the start in goal.
