PHILADELPHIA -- The day after allowing six goals in a lopsided loss, Steve Mason was supposed to be given the night off.Instead, he was thrown into injury relief duty and helped the Flyers pull out a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.Brayden Schenn scored the tiebreaking goal at 8:43 of the third period, and Brandon Manning and Michael Del Zotto also scored to help the Flyers snap a three-game skid.Mason finished with 19 saves after replacing Michael Neuvirth, who stopped six of seven shots before leaving after the first period due to an apparent injury.Its tiring being embarrassed game after game, said Mason, who was in goal in a 6-3 loss at Toronto the previous night. So you just try to find something to build off of. I just have to keep working here. You get two points here and you focus on the next task at hand and thats exactly what Im going to do.Masons last stop was a left pad save on Eric Staal in the closing seconds.It was a great save coming across, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said, but that sense of urgency shouldnt happen just in the last 3 minutes of the game.Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said Mason, who had not won since Oct. 25, needed a game like this.I hope it continues to boost his confidence, but Mase has nothing to be embarrassed about, Hakstol said. He shows up and he battles hard every day. Things might not have gone as well as he would have liked early on, but thats the game. When one part of the team isnt going great every other part has to pick that piece up a little bit.Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund scored for the Wild, who lost for the third time in four games. Devan Dubnyk had 33 saves.On the go-ahead score, Wayne Simmonds put a between-the-legs pass from behind the net onto Schenns stick and Schenn waited for Dubnyk to go down before firing the puck over him for his third of the season -- all on the power play.The goal snapped Schenns seven-game scoring drought and came with Wild captain Mikko Koivu in the penalty box for tripping Flyers left wing Michael Raffl behind the net. The Wild entered the game with the NHLs fifth-ranked penalty kill, but the Flyers, ranked second on the man-advantage, connected.Dubnyk said the Wild missed an assignment on Schenns goal. Theyve now allowed three power-play goals in the past three games.You usually arent going to go at a guy behind the net there, Dubnyk said, referring to defenseman Jared Spurgeon chasing Simmonds behind the net.The Wild had a chance to tie it when Flyers center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare took an interference penalty on Koivu, but Minnesota did not record a shot on the man-advantage and fell to 2 for 25 on the road this season.The Wild grabbed a pair of one-goal leads in the opening two periods, only to see the Flyers tie the score.Niederreiter, who had 20 goals last season, opened the scoring just 21 seconds in when he lifted a pass from right wing Charlie Coyle over Neuvirths right shoulder. Neuvirth stopped the next six shots before pulling himself out of the game after the first.The Flyers tied it with 7:33 left in the period as Manning wristed a shot from the blue line past a screened Dubnyk for his third.With Mason in, the Wild scored on their fourth shot of the second period to take a 2-1 lead. Koivu started the play by carrying the puck into the offensive zone and making an outside-inside move on Del Zotto. Koivu backhanded a shot off the crossbar and Granlund deposited the rebound for his third.The Flyers tied the score again with 2:15 remaining in the second on a strong rush up the ice by Del Zotto, who passed it to Michael Raffl and then saw Raffls return pass go off his left skate and behind Dubnyk.Game notesMinnesota finished 0 for 2 on the power play and Philadelphia was 1 for 3. ... The teams conclude their season series at Minnesota on March 23. ... Wild F Joel Eriksson Ek left the game early in the first period after taking a puck to the chin but returned for the second period. ...

After Titans were restricted to 147, the Warriors chase was steered by half-centuries from Colin Ingram and Colin Ackermann.Put in to bat, Aiden Markram (23) and Heinrich Klaasen (26) got starts, but Titans lost wickets regularly once Birch broke the opening stand in the third over. Sisanda Magala and the rest of the attack reduced them to 88 for 5 before Birch returned and took four of the remaining five wickets. That Warriors recovered to 147 was down to Albie Morkel (25 off 21) and David Wiese (36 off 28), and their stand of 42 for the sixth wicket. Birch finished with career-best T20 figures of 5 for 16.Warriors also lost their first wicket early, to Morkel, but JJ Smuts and Ingram put on a rapid 68 in 8.1 overs to put their chase on track. Once Smuts fell for 33 off 25, Ingram and Ackermann pushed the score past 100, and though Ingram fell to Tabraiz Shamsi for 50 off 45, and Ackermann for a quicker 53 off 34 with three sixes, the chase was sealed with seven balls to spare.At the Diamond Oval in Kimberley, left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin dented Knights chase of 183 with 4 for 39 to give Lions a 20-run win. It was Knights sixth consecutive defeat, after their win over Cape Cobras in tthe tournament opener, as they continued to languish at the bottom of the table.ddddddddddddKnights lost Michael Erlank on the first ball of the chase, caught off fast bowler Hardus Viljoen. Partnerships of 46 for the second wicket between captain Theunis de Bruyn and Leus du Plooy, and 50 for the third wicket between du Plooy and Pite van Biljon helped them recover. Du Plooy was trapped lbw by Fortuin having top-scored with 45, and when van Biljon fell to the same bowler for 42, Knights were 123 for 5. They lost another wicket at the same score, before slapping 39 runs off the last 25 balls to finish on 162 for 6.Opting to bat, Lions had a solid foundation laid by openers Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks, who put on 66 in 6.5 overs. Hendricks struck five fours and two sixes in his 31-ball knock, and when he fell at the halfway stage, caught off de Bruyns pace bowling, he had made 53 out of Lions total of 88. Thereafter, Nicky van den Bergh took over and pinged four fours and three sixes before perishing in the last over for 57 off 35.Knights bowlers shared the wickets equally with Marchant de Lange, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Aubrey Swanepoel and de Bruyn taking a wicket apiece.
