Goaltender Marc-André Fleury still has to wait until he signs his 552nd career win and passes Patrick Roy for second place among the winningest goaltenders in National Hockey League (NHL) history.
The Minnesota Wild lost 4-3 in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers at the Xcel Energy Center on Friday night.

However, the crowd favorite had a two-goal lead at times in the third period. Ryan Hartman scored a goal in the opening moments of that period to secure a 1-1 tie. Just a few minutes later, Matt Boldy gave the crowd favorite a more comfortable cushion. However, this wasn't enough as the Flyers came from behind and tied the game with goals from Tyson Foerster and Owen Tippett.
Joel Farabee took advantage of a numerical advantage in overtime and robbed Fleury of his chance by thwarting him. It was his second success of the game as he equalized in the second period.
The Wild's other goal was the work of Marcus Johansson.
Fleury and his teammates will return to action this Saturday with a visit from the Arizona Coyotes. It remains to be seen whether the Sorel native will be back in front of his team's cage or whether his coach will allow him to play again in the next game, on Monday evening against the New York Islanders.
