Michkov scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov has four goals and an assist over his last eight contests. The winger is up to 13 goals, 28 points, 112 shots on net, 49 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 52 appearances. The 21-year-old remains in a middle-six role, and it doesn't look like he'll be shaking off his sophomore slump any time soon.

Michkov recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov delivered his best outing of the 2025-26 campaign so far. His last multi-point performance came back on Dec. 30, and Friday's performance was his first time he scored two goals in a game since Nov. 29. Michkov hasn't been able to repeat the numbers he accomplished as a rookie, but he is up to 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 49 contests this season. Playing in a bottom-six role limits his upside, but he remains a player worth rostering in deeper leagues and dynasty formats.

Michkov scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
It was the talented winger's first goal in 10 games (three assists). Michkov has 10 goals, 14 assists and 45 shots in 45 games. He sits seventh in team scoring, and he's on pace for just 41 points. That's a 22 point drop for Michkov, who finished second in team scoring with 63 points last season. He finished in a tie with Macklin Celebrini for second in rookie scoring last year, but unlike Celebrini, Michkov is suffering from the sophomore flu. He'll rebound eventually, but this is not what his managers or the team expected.

Michkov (foot) is slated to play Thursday versus Toronto, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov missed Tuesday's 5-2 win over Anaheim due to the injury. He has nine goals and 23 points in 40 appearances in 2025-26. Michkov will likely serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit in his return.

Michkov (foot) won't play against Anaheim on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov will miss at least one game after taking a puck to his foot in Saturday's 5-2 win over Edmonton. He was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, which could make this a short absence. Michkov has nine goals, 23 points and 78 shots on net in 40 appearances this season.

Michkov (foot) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with Anaheim, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov suffered a foot injury against Edmonton on Saturday, which caused him to miss Monday's practice, but the 21-year-old winger was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. The Russian has scored just one goal in his last 16 outings while putting up 30 shots, though he has chipped in eight helpers over that stretch.

Head coach Rick Tocchet said Monday that Michkov took a shot to the foot during Saturday's game against the Oilers and is being evaluated, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he wasn't on the ice for Monday's practice session, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against Anaheim. If the 21-year-old is forced to miss time, Nicolas Deslauriers and Nikita Grebenkin will be candidates to enter the lineup.

Michkov logged two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 3 versus the Sabres. He's been decent lately with a goal and five helpers over his last eight contests. The 21-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 13 helpers, 77 shots on net, 36 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 38 appearances. Michkov's third-line spot limits his scoring potential and his ice time, but he's still doing enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Michkov scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Michkov's first goal of December. He's been fine this month, picking up five assists and 17 shots on net over the previous 10 contests, but he's in a third-line role. Michkov's talent will keep him from staying quiet for long, but the Flyers' style demands some improvements for the winger away from the puck. For more success, he needs to get more pucks on net. The 21-year-old is averaging just under two shots per game, whereas he was at nearly 2.5 shots per game in 2024-25. He's at nine goals, 20 points, 69 shots on net, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 35 appearances in what's shaping up as a sophomore slump year.

Michkov notched two assists, two shots on goal and four PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Michkov set up a Travis Konecny power-play goal in the first period as well as Owen Tippett's insurance tally in the second. With four goals and three assists over his last seven games, Michkov is starting to find a bit more consistency again. The 20-year-old winger is up to 16 points, 54 shots on net, 14 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 26 outings overall.
