Mikheyev (lower body) is practicing in a regular jersey on Friday, per Harman Dayal of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev is practicing alongside Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko. Mikheyev suffered the injury almost three weeks ago in a preseason game against Calgary. He had 21 goals and 32 points in 53 games with Toronto last season and inked a four-year deal with the Canucks worth $19 million in the offseason. Look for Mikheyev to see top-six minutes when healthy.

Mikheyev (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev was considered week-to-week after suffering an injury during the preseason. There hasn't been much information on his status recently so it's unclear when the team expects him to get back on the ice.

Mikheyev (lower body) is reportedly not dealing with a long-term injury and could begin skating in the next 1-2 days, Canucks' beat writer Irfaan Gaffar reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
There had been some rumblings that Mikheyev suffered a torn ACL which obviously would have sidelined him for most of the 2022-23 season but it seems those reports were premature. If the Russian winger does get back onto the ice in the coming days, it should clear the way for him to be available for Opening Night against the Oilers on Oct. 12.

Mikheyev is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like Mikheyev may be in danger of missing San Jose's Opening Night matchup with Edmonton on Oct. 12. Another update on the 27-year-old winger, who picked up 21 goals and 32 points through 53 games with Toronto last season, should surface once he's cleared to resume skating.

Mikheyev signed a four-year, $19 million contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev enjoyed a bit of a breakout season in 2021-22, setting career highs in goals (21) and points (32) through 53 appearances with the Maple Leafs. If he's able to play a full 82-game slate for the first time in his career, Mikheyev could set career bests in both of those categories for a second straight campaign in 2022-23.

Mikheyev scored a power-play goal in a 5-2 win over Boston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev is peaking at the right time with the playoffs looming early next week. He has four goals and six points in his last six games, and he has 21 snipes (32 points) in 53 games this season. Mikheyev is a name you need to note for 2022-23. He's a UFA this offseason that the Leafs cannot afford, and his great work this season means he will likely get a pay raise and a possible second-line role in another city.

The Russian winger failed to finish it off in the shootout, but Alex Kerfoot eventually did so by scoring in the seventh round.
