Mikheyev scored two goals in a 7-3 win over Washington on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He batted in an Auston Matthews pass at 15:44 of the second to make the score 5-1 and his second made it 7-1 at 1:27 of the third. Mikheyev's speed make him hard to handle on the ice, but it doesn't always result in consistent production. The goals were his first in seven games. Mikheyev has four points in those seven, all of which have come in his last four games.

Mikheyev had a goal and two assists in a 7-3 win over Winnipeg on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first three-point game in the NHL. Mikheyev scored his goal shorthanded on a breakaway in the second period. And his assists were his first in March, a span of 14 games. However, Mikheyev has impressed of late with five goals and two assists in his last eight games. Two of those five snipes have been shorties.

Mikheyev scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev tallied at 9:12 of the third period to solidify the Maple Leafs' lead. The 27-year-old has netted four goals and added 26 shots in his last six games. For the season, the winger is up to 14 goals, five assists, 106 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-7 rating through 36 appearances, mainly playing in a middle-six role.

Mikheyev scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
He caught Frederik Andersen leaning and scored off the rusk with a sharp-angled backhander in the first. Mikheyev's speed is a weapon the Leafs' third line, but the team won't be able to afford him next season. His overall numbers aren't impressive, but he has a goal in back-to-back games and could be solid over the stretch. At minimum, remember Mikheyev's name for 2022-23 because his skills could find him on the second line on a team that's not quite as deep up front as the Leafs.

Mikheyev scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev opened the scoring at 8:06 of the first period. The tally put him in double digits for goals for the first time in his three-year career, doing so in just 27 contests this season. He's picked up four points in his last five outings and the 27-year-old has 15 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-5 rating overall. Mikheyev remains an effective depth scorer in his third-line role.

Mikheyev produced an assist and a team-high six shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Mihkeyev has two goals and two assists in his last five outings. The 27-year-old winger has enjoyed modest success from a third-line role, accruing nine goals, five assists, 63 shots on net and a plus-6 rating in 24 contests overall. Even with a delayed start to the season due to broken thumb, he could challenge his career high of 23 points from 39 games as a rookie in 2019-20.

Mikheyev (illness) is expected to play Saturday versus the Red Wings, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev is set to jump back into action without missing a game. He left Thursday's game versus the Wild with an illness. The 27-year-old will likely play in a third-line role.

Mikheyev left Thursday's game versus the Wild with a non-COVID-19 illness.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev logged just one shift in the second period before leaving the bench. He produced no fantasy-relevant stats in 4:39 of ice time Thursday. The winger can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Red Wings.

Mikheyev scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev enjoyed a wonderful January, but his offense crashed back to earth in February. His goal Monday snapped a six-game point drought, with his previous contribution being an assist versus the Devils on Feb. 1. The 27-year-old has eight goals, three assists, 53 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-5 rating in 20 contests. If he can even out his play, he'll be a solid depth option in fantasy even in a third-line role.

Mikheyev scored a shorthanded goal on six shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added two hits in Monday's 6-4 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev picked a good time to end his three-game point drought, helping out on a Jason Spezza goal in the third period. With 3:04 left in regulation, Mikheyev tallied the go-ahead goal, which also stood as the game-winner. The winger is up to seven goals, two assists, 36 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests this season. Even in a third-line role, he should be able to make enough of a scoring impact to help in fantasy.
