Ilya Mikheyev - NHL News & Rumors

Tallies against former team Mikheyev scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Mihkeyev opened the scoring at 6:50 of the first period in his first game back in Vancouver since the Canucks traded him away in June. He had been a healthy scratch for the prior two contests due to ongoing struggles on offense. The winger has just three points with 22 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-5 rating through 16 appearances this season. Given those poor numbers, Mikheyev is unlikely to do enough to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats.

Contributes assist in loss Mikheyev logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Mikheyev has two points this season, and they've come in the last two games. The 30-year-old winger's Chicago tenure is off to a slow start, and it doesn't help that he's confined to a middle-six role with no power-play usage. He's added 16 shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-5 rating through 11 appearances. Mikheyev's career high of 32 points from 2021-22 and his limited role give little reason for optimism regarding his production over the remainder of this campaign.

Ends scoring drought Monday Mikheyev scored an empty-net goal and finished with a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Mikheyev snapped his nine-game scoring drought Monday with an empty-netter in the final seconds of the third period when the Avalanche were all out on the attack trying to spark a late comeback. As a bottom-six forward with limited chances to produce, don't expect Mikheyev to make much of an impact in most fantasy formats while playing for one of the weakest teams in the Western Conference.

Dealt to Chicago Mikheyev, along with the negotiating rights to Sam Lafferty and a second-round pick in 2025, were traded from the Canucks to the Blackhawks in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick...

Impact Mikheyev's a useful player, but his $4.75 million cap hit had become burdensome for the Canucks. This deal gives them cap flexibility heading into the draft and free agency, while the Blackhawks get a middle-six forward with speed and defensive skills to bolster their depth. Mikheyev had 31 points in 78 contests in 2023-24 after being limited to 28 points in 46 games due to a knee injury the year prior.

Impact Mikheyev was left on the bench for the previous two contests with an apparent undisclosed injury. It's also possible the winger was a healthy scratch considering he has yet to register a point in 10 postseason contests. With Mikheyev back in action, Vasily Podkolzin is expected to serve as a healthy scratch.

Out Saturday Mikheyev (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday against Edmonton in Game 6, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Mikheyev also missed Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Oilers. He has no points, a minus-4 rating, 11 shots, nine hits and three blocks in 10 playoff contests this year. Mikheyev's continued absence will likely result in Vasily Podkolzin remaining in the lineup for the second straight game.

Impact Mikheyev is considered day-to-day, but the injury is a new consideration. It was believed the 29-year-old winger was going to be a healthy scratch Thursday after posting just one assist over his last 22 games and no points in 10 playoff outings. It's unclear if he'll be available for Game 6 on Saturday.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mikheyev ended a 10-game point drought following his promotion to the top line. He had the secondary helper on Nils Hoglander's first-period tally, which was the game-winner. Mikheyev is up to 11 goals, 20 helpers, 144 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-1 rating through 77 appearances this season, though he's bounced all over the lineup.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mikheyev set up both of Nikita Zadorov's first-period tallies. With four points over his last four outings, Mikheyev is starting to get into a rhythm on offense. The winger is up to 30 points -- two shy of matching his career high -- with 128 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating through 66 appearances. He should continue to fill a middle-six role.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Provides helper in loss Mikheyev notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Mikheyev has bounced back from a five-game slump with a goal and an assist over his last two outings. It's helped that he's moved up to a line with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser -- the third party on that line has typically seen an uptick in offense every time head coach Rick Tocchet shuffles his forward combinations. Mikheyev needs the spark, as he's managed 28 points, 125 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating through 64 appearances. That's the same point total he had in 46 games a year ago, though he needs just five more to set a career high.

While he's managed to stay in the lineup through the slump, he has seen his ice time stay in line with that of a middle-six forward. He's up to 11 goals, 27 points, 125 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-1 rating over 63 outings overall.

Impact Mikheyev has struggled in February with three assists and a minus-5 rating over 12 appearances. He spent much of the month in a bottom-six role, but he's been back on the top line at even strength recently, though he's also lost his power-play role. The winger is at 26 points, 110 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-1 rating through 57 appearances. Mikheyev will need to show more consistency before he can be considered in most fantasy formats.

Contributes helper Mikheyev notched an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Mikheyev helped out on a Noah Juulsen tally early in the second period. The Canucks' trade for Elias Lindholm has taken Mikheyev out of the top-six mix, though Dakota Joshua's upper-body injury has allowed Mikheyev to join the team's third line. His play isn't really suited for a checking line -- Mikheyev is at 25 points, 104 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 52 outings. Until an injury opens up a spot higher in the lineup, he'll likely be confined to a smaller role, so his fantasy value will be limited.

Impact The assist snapped a five-game point drought for Mikheyev. The winger continues to be deployed in a secondary scoring role, while receiving ice time on both special teams. He's accrued 10 goals and 23 points through 43 games this season.

Mikheyev remains in a top-six role at even strength while also seeing time on the second power-play unit. He's been a solid part of the Canucks' supporting cast with 21 points, 66 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating over 33 appearances.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist Saturday Mikheyev notched an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Impact Mikheyev has a goal and three helpers over his last four games. The 29-year-old winger has yet to chip in a power-play point this season despite being a fixture on the second unit. All 20 of his points through 31 outings have come at even strength. Mikheyev has added 60 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-7 rating while working on the top line alongside Elias Pettersson for much of the campaign.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mikheyev should continue to skate on the top line and second power-play unit for the time being.

Mikheyev snapped a brief three-game point drought with the goal, but he's been unable to sustain any offensive momentum and hasn't found the scoresheet in consecutive games since early November. On the season, the 29-year-old has 17 points in 28 contests, putting him on pace for a career-best campaign if he can stay on the ice -- Mikheyev has never played more than 54 games in an NHL season.

Impact This was Mikheyev's third multi-point effort of the season, two of which have come over the last four games. He also logged multiple hits for the fourth this time this season. The 29-year-old has fit in well on the top line at even strength, providing some supporting offense alongside Elias Pettersson. Mikheyev is up to nine goals, seven helpers, 49 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-6 rating through 24 appearances.
