MATVEI MICHKOV NEWS

Strikes on power play Michkov scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact Michkov has scored in three straight games, and the increased production is helping his ice time bounce back after reduced usage recently. The winger still needs to adjust to head coach Rick Tocchet's expectations, but Michkov has the talent to do so, which should help his production over time. For the season, Michkov's at four goals, five assists, 29 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 16 appearances.

Goal in back-to-back games Michkov scored a goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa.

Impact Michkov shook off a check from Sens defender Jake Sanderson, drove to the interior and beat Linus Ullmark over the glove. It's exactly what his coach, Rick Tocchet, has been preaching at the young winger all season: "That was textbook. That'll be in the video room tomorrow on how you want to do it." Michkov has a goal in back-to-back games and five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six games.

Puts away goal in win Michkov scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Michkov's tally tied the game at 1-1 in the second period. He was still limited to 12:52 of ice time, his second-lowest total in a game this season, as he works to gain trust with head coach Rick Tocchet. The 20-year-old Michkov is now at two goals, seven points, 26 shots on net, 11 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances. He's talented, so fantasy managers would be wise to have patience with the winger in most formats.

First multi-point game of season Michkov picked up two assists in a 4-1 win over Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Michkov is off to a slow start this season, but there may be signs of life. This was his first multi-point game of the season, and he has five points (one goal, four assists) and 16 shots in his last seven games. Yes, it's modest for a sniper who put up 26 goals and 63 points, including 17 power-play points, in 80 games last season. We expect Michkov to turn things around with a bang soon, even though his average ice time is down from last season (16:41 to 15:04). Check in with his manager to see if you can pry him away in a trade before he takes off.

It was Michkov's first point in four games to begin the season, but the 20-year-old continues to see a regular shift on the power play and has sky-high upside after producing 26 goals and 63 points over 80 regular-season contests in 2024-25 during his NHL debut.
