In 77 games, the 2023 seventh-overall pick has recorded 17 goals and 45 points. This is after he had 26 goals, 37 assists, and 63 points in 80 games for the Flyers this past season.<\/p>\n<p>While Michkov&#8217;s offense has dropped this season compared to his rookie campaign, there is no question that the 21-year-old winger is starting to heat up at the perfect time for the Flyers. In his last three games, the 5-foot-10 forward has recorded one goal and five points. This included him recording two assists in the Flyers&#8217; most recent contest against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. He also had three points against the New York Islanders on April 3.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>With the Flyers looking to cement themselves a playoff spot, there is no question that it is a good thing that Michkov is red-hot for them right now. If he keeps this kind of play up, it would be huge for the Flyers.<\/p>\n<p>Michkov is a very skilled offensive player, and he has been showing that down the stretch. It will be interesting to see how he finishes off the season with Philadelphia from here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a strong rookie season in 2024-25, Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov has had a quieter year this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5112],"tags":[1468,5,509,151,159,4,1467,56,5205,33302],"class_list":{"0":"post-548420","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-flyers","8":"tag-flyers","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-matvei-michkov","11":"tag-new-jersey-devils","12":"tag-new-york-islanders","13":"tag-nhl","14":"tag-philadelphia","15":"tag-philadelphia-flyers","16":"tag-philadelphiaflyers","17":"tag-rookie-campaign"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116372342259125435","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
