Mikheyev scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev ended up posting four shots on goal in his 15:04 of ice time. The 29-year-old right winger missed the first few games of the season while still recovering from ACL surgery in January. Since making his season debut on Saturday, Mikheyev has a point in each contest. He'll look to make it three games in a row on Friday night against the visiting Blues.

Mikheyev (knee) is taking contact at Monday's practice, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has yet to play this season after undergoing ACL surgery in late January, but it appears he could be ready to make his season debut sooner rather than later. The 29-year-old winger collected 13 goals and 28 points through 46 contests in 2022-23.

Mikheyev (knee) won't play Wednesday versus Edmonton, but he's close to returning, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev is still working his way back from the ACL surgery he underwent in late January. Although he won't be available for Wednesday's season opener, it sounds like the 29-year-old winger should be ready to make his debut sooner rather than later.

Mikheyev (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
While it's still unclear if Mikheyev will dress for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Edmonton, this is certainly a step in the right direction. He hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 27 after suffering an ACL injury.

Mikheyev (knee) will not dress for either of Vancouver's final two preseason games and his status for Opening Night is "up in the air," Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev is still recovering from last season's ACL surgery and missed a handful of days in camp due to personal reasons. He won't see any game action before the start of the regular season and it's currently unclear when the team expects him to get back in the lineup. The 28-year-old scored 13 goals and 28 points in 46 games last season.

Mikheyev (knee) was back with the Canucks for Tuesday's practice after leaving the team for personal reasons, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev rotated in with Nils Hoglander on the top line with Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko during Tuesday's session. The 28-year-old Mikheyev still needs to be cleared from the ACL surgery he had last season.

Mikheyev, who is also dealing with a knee injury, left Vancouver's training camp for personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear how long Mikheyev will be gone for. He contributed 13 goals and 28 points in 46 contests with Vancouver in 2022-23. When healthy and available, Mikheyev might serve in a top-six capacity.

Mikheyev (knee) will wear a non-contact jersey at the start of training camp, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported back in August that Mikheyev might have his participation limited in training camp, so this update doesn't come as a surprise. When he's healthy, Mikheyev should be in the mix for a top-six role.

Mikheyev (knee) is recovering well from ACL surgery, but the Canucks may limit his participation in training camp and preseason games, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev underwent ACL surgery in the middle of last season. The 28-year-old winger is still in a seemingly good position to miss little to no time at the start of the 2023-24 campaign, but there is some concern given his potential limitations in September. Once he's fully healthy, expect Mikheyev to compete for a top-six role.
