After two different Flyers came to the youngster's aid on the ice, it's clear the team is looking out for their ace in the hole

Russian prospect and 2023 NHL first-round draft pick Matvei Michkov could be the rookie star who helps lead the Philadelphia Flyers into the playoffs. SKA St.

The Matvei Michkov hype train is rolling through Philadelphia ahead of next week’s start to the NHL regular season. Of course it is. Michkov is one of the highest-rated prospects in all of hockey and he has the potential to bring life to a Flyers team that hasn’t had much in recent years.

After much speculation and drama, Alexei Kolosov reported to the Flyers training camp and was on the ice with Group 2 on Friday.

Matvei Michkov put on his superhero cape once again, scoring the game-tying and game-winning goals in the Philadelphia Flyers’ 3-2 overtime win over the Boston Bruins at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.

For the first time in front of a Wells Fargo Center crowd, Matvei Michkov showed the skill and energy that's bringing so much promise to the Flyers.

Home sweet home. The Flyers returned to the friendly confines of the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday for their third preseason game. It marked the debut of Matvei Michkov on home ice — and the fans gave him a big welcome when he was announced in the starting lineup and shown on the big screen.

After Bruins defenseman Billy Sweezey got into a scrum with Michkov, Couturier immediately defended the Flyers' top prospect and dropped the gloves. Couturier is not necessarily known for his fighting skills, but he handled himself well against the Bruins' 6-foot-2 defenseman.

Matvei Michkov is not only making a strong case to crack the Philadelphia Flyers’ lineup this season, but because he’s been so dynamic, he’s getting way-too-early Calder Trophy nods from fans who have seen the young Russian wow in training camp and pre-season for the Philadelphia Flyers.
