Michkov scored twice on seven shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov's late burst of offense in the season finale secured the rookie goals title for him this season. He tallied 26 goals, one ahead of San Jose's Macklin Celebrini, and both first-year forwards finished 2024-25 at 63 points. They trailed Montreal blueliner Lane Hutson (66 points) in the overall scoring race. Michkov was as impressive as advertised, but one of those three skaters may not even end up as a Calder Trophy finalist if Calgary goalie Dustin Wolf gets nominated instead. In addition to his 63 points, Michkov racked up 200 shots on net and a minus-18 rating over 80 appearances.

Michkov picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The helper gives Michkov 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) this season. He's the first Philly rookie to hit that mark since Mikael Renberg had 82 in 1993-94, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com. Michkov has been sharp over the last few weeks. He reached the scoresheet in eight of his past nine games, collecting four goals, nine assists and 29 shots.

Michkov notched two assists in Monday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
All the game's scoring came in the second period, as the 20-year-old winger had a hand in tallies by Ryan Poehling and Jamie Drysdale. Michkov has produced multiple points in three straight games since John Tortorella was given his pink slip, extending his point streak to six contests in which he's delivered four goals and 11 points. Michkov sits one goal away from 25 on the season and two points shy of 60 -- a mark no Flyers rookie has reached since Mikael Renberg set the franchise record with 82 points in 1993-94.

Michkov scored two goals in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
That's back-to-back two-goal performances for the rookie since coach John Tortorella was let go. Michkov's speed and elite talent were on full display on both tallies, and he's put together a five-game point streak in which he's delivered four goals and nine points. Michkov needs one more goal over the Flyers' last seven games to reach 25, and he's four points short of 60 as he makes a final push for Calder Trophy votes.

Michkov produced two goals and an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old seemed happy to see the back of coach John Tortorella, who was fired Thursday morning. Michkov opened the scoring less than two minutes into the first period, then potted the Flyers' final goal midway through the third period. He even had a chance at his first career hat trick, but hit the post when taking aim at an empty net. Michkov snapped a 10-game goal drought with the performance, and on the season he's up to 22 goals and 54 points in 72 appearances, putting him two points back of Montreal's Lane Hutson in the rookie scoring race.

Michkov recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov is the third rookie to get to 50 points this season. He's earned three helpers over his last two contests following a six-game skid. The rookie winger has 20 goals, 30 assists, 166 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 70 appearances. Michkov's talent has been evident from the get-go, though he's been prone to some slumps while playing on a more defensive-minded team -- the Flyers are 26th in the league with 2.71 goals per game.

Michkov registered an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov ended a six-game point drought with the helper. Prior to that skid, he had posted 11 points over a seven-game stretch. The 20-year-old winger is up to 20 goals, 28 helpers, 163 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 69 appearances this season. His shaky play in March could hurt Michkov's standing in the Calder Trophy race, especially with Macklin Celebrini and Dustin Wolf impressing in recent weeks.
