BUFFALO, N.Y. — As soon as the Wild seized momentum, the Flyers snatched it back.
Getting stuck in this one-step-forward, one-step-back pattern could have demoralized a Wild lineup already shouldering the weight of a four-game losing streak.
Instead, it might have helped the group shed that slide, since the team's become very familiar with rallying this season.
"We've been there, done that, and the guys have gone through that," coach Dean Evason said. "I honestly don't believe that there was a panic. There certainly wasn't a feel on the bench."
Still, the 5-4 slump-buster at Philadelphia on Thursday was one of the more extreme comebacks of the pack.
The Wild erased four separate deficits, the second game the team has come from behind that many times en route to victory this season; the other was Oct. 19 when the Wild overcame the Jets 6-5 in overtime at Xcel Energy Center.
Only two other clubs have won this way twice in a season: the 1985-86 North Stars and 1989-90 Penguins.
"I'd say our group is pretty persistent playing from behind," said rookie Matt Boldy, who served up the fourth and final equalizer of the night. "We work really hard and find different ways to score goals. They weren't the prettiest, but obviously going in the back of the net is all that matters."
