Looking to assert themselves at home, the Philadelphia Flyers started off with one of their best all-around games of the season.
Sean Couturier had a short-handed goal to lead a balanced scoring attack and the Flyers beat the Minnesota Wild 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnell, Braydon Coburn and Jakub Voracek also had goals and Jaromir Jagr had two assists for the Flyers, who got points from 12 players.
Every line was cycling, every line was getting shots, it was a big win, Hartnell said.
The Flyers began a stretch of 11 of 15 games at home after playing 20 of 29 on the road. They improved to 11-6-2 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Darroll Powe scored against his former team for Minnesotas goal.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 25 saves to earn the win, a day after coach Peter Laviolette reiterated hes the No.
