Strikes on late power play Michkov scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Michkov has four goals and an assist over his last eight contests. The winger is up to 13 goals, 28 points, 112 shots on net, 49 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 52 appearances. The 21-year-old remains in a middle-six role, and it doesn't look like he'll be shaking off his sophomore slump any time soon.

Three points Friday Michkov recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Michkov, a 21-year-old winger who racked up 63 points as a rookie in 2024-25, delivered his best outing of the current campaign when facing one of the top Stanley Cup contenders. This was Michkov's first multi-point performance since Dec. 30, and the first time he scored two goals in a game since Nov. 29. Michkov hasn't been able to repeat the numbers he accomplished as a rookie, and he's up to 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 49 contests. That slump, coupled with the fact that he's playing a bottom-six role, limits his upside in most formats, but he remains a player worth rosterting in deep and dynasty formats.

JANUARY 24 • Associated Press

First goal in 10 games Michkov scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact It was the talented winger's first goal in 10 games (three assists). Michkov has 10 goals, 14 assists and 45 shots in 45 games. He sits seventh in team scoring, and he's on pace for just 41 points. That's a 22 point drop for Michkov, who finished second in team scoring with 63 points last season. He finished in a tie with Macklin Celebrini for second in rookie scoring last year, but unlike Celebrini, Michkov is suffering from the sophomore flu. He'll rebound eventually, but this is not what his managers or the team expected.

Slated to return Thursday Michkov (foot) is slated to play Thursday versus Toronto, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Impact Michkov missed Tuesday's 5-2 win over Anaheim due to the injury. He has nine goals and 23 points in 40 appearances in 2025-26. Michkov will likely serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit in his return.

Unavailable Tuesday Michkov (foot) won't play against Anaheim on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Michkov will miss at least one game after taking a puck to his foot in Saturday's 5-2 win over Edmonton. He was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, which could make this a short absence. Michkov has nine goals, 23 points and 78 shots on net in 40 appearances this season.

Game-time call Tuesday Michkov (foot) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with Anaheim, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Michkov suffered a foot injury against Edmonton on Saturday, which caused him to miss Monday's practice, but the 21-year-old winger was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. The Russian has scored just one goal in his last 16 outings while putting up 30 shots, though he has chipped in eight helpers over that stretch.

Impact Michkov hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he wasn't on the ice for Monday's practice session, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against Anaheim. If the 21-year-old is forced to miss time, Nicolas Deslauriers and Nikita Grebenkin will be candidates to enter the lineup.

Contributes pair of helpers Michkov logged two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Michkov earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 3 versus the Sabres. He's been decent lately with a goal and five helpers over his last eight contests. The 21-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 13 helpers, 77 shots on net, 36 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 38 appearances. Michkov's third-line spot limits his scoring potential and his ice time, but he's still doing enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Pots empty-netter Michkov scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was Michkov's first goal of December. He's been fine this month, picking up five assists and 17 shots on net over the previous 10 contests, but he's in a third-line role. Michkov's talent will keep him from staying quiet for long, but the Flyers' style demands some improvements for the winger away from the puck. For more success, he needs to get more pucks on net. The 21-year-old is averaging just under two shots per game, whereas he was at nearly 2.5 shots per game in 2024-25. He's at nine goals, 20 points, 69 shots on net, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 35 appearances in what's shaping up as a sophomore slump year.
