Mikheyev notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has three points, 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over nine contests since he returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch. The winger has reclaimed steady third-line minutes, but he has not received power-play time regularly at any point in 2024-25. For the season, he has five points, 36 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over 24 outings.

Mikheyev notched an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has reclaimed a third-line role, earning two points over his last five games after spending two contests as a healthy scratch. He's still not lighting it up on offense, and it's unlikely he'll be a big scoring threat at any point this season. The winger has four points, 31 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances.

Mikheyev scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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

Mikheyev, along with the negotiating rights to Sam Lafferty and a second-round pick in 2027, were traded from the Canucks to the Blackhawks on Wednesday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Mikheyev (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup for Game 7 versus the Oilers on Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev missed the previous two contests with an apparent undisclosed injury. 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.

Mikheyev (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday against Edmonton in Game 6, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev also missed Thursday's 3-2 Game 5 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.

Mikheyev is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't play Thursday in Game 5 versus the Oilers, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Mikheyev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
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.
