Five of the Wild's worst losses of the season

The Wild blew an early 2-0 lead, giving up three goals in a row to end regulation empty-handed. The Sabres tied it in the third period with about seven minutes to go and capped off the comeback with just 1:30 remaining.

This was perhaps the Wild's most stunning collapse. Arizona overcame a 3-1 deficit with three goals in the third period off seven shots in a dizzying 5:32. Before then, the Coyotes sagged through the first two periods, putting just one shot on net in the second.

The Red Wings were near the bottom of the standings but didn't play like it — dominating the Wild after winning only two of their 15 previous games. Coach Bruce Boudreau called the performance the team's worst since he joined the organization.

Again, the Wild crumbled in dramatic fashion. It battled back to go up 3-2 after wasting a 2-0 start, but the Flyers scored five of the game's last six goals — including two each by Nolan Patrick and Wayne Simmonds.

Self-inflicted errors, such as an unsuccessful four-minute power play and an untimely penalty, paved the way for another Flyers rally — this time from 3-1 and 4-3 deficits.
