Matvei Michkov

21-Year-Old Right WingRW
Philadelphia Flyers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
During his rookie season in 2024-25, Michkov led the Flyers with 26 goals and finished second on the team with 63 points in 80 games. The only contests he missed were back-to-back healthy scratches in early November. His average ice time increased from 16:18 to 19:36 after Philadelphia fired head coach John Tortorella in late March. It was a much smaller sample size at the end of the campaign, but it could signal better deployment and more responsibilities in 2025-26. Michkov meshed nicely with Sean Couturier and Travis Konency down the stretch, compiling six goals and 16 points in his final 12 appearances. The 20-year-old Michkov has the offensive upside to top 30 goals and 70 points in his sophomore season.  Read Past Outlooks

First goal in 10 games
RWPhiladelphia Flyers
January 15, 2026
Michkov scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
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.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
After missing the playoffs for four straight years, Flyers fans could use something to be excited about and Michkov qualifies. The No. 7 overall pick from the 2023 NHL Draft is set to play in his rookie campaign after scoring 19 goals and 41 points in 47 contests between KHL Sochi and St. Petersburg last season. The 19-year-old is brimming with offensive potential, and he should get a chance to showcase it as part of the Flyers' top six and possibly even as a member of the first power-play unit. He figures to be a serious contender for the Calder Trophy and consequently is someone that you don't want to overlook, even if you're just in a single-season fantasy league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Impressing with competitiveness
RWPhiladelphia Flyers
September 19, 2025
Michkov has made a good impression on new head coach Rick Tocchet through his work ethic and competitiveness, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Michkov had 63 points in 80 games as a rookie in 2024-25. The 20-year-old winger's talent is not in question, but Tocchet has taken note of his ability to hound the puck and go to the net. With Tocchet taking a warmer approach than former head coach John Tortorella, Michkov may be able to avoid a sophomore slump and cement his place among the rising stars of the NHL in 2025-26.
