On Feb. 26, Matvei Michkov played the best game of his short career.
In 15:32 for HK Sochi, Michkov scored one goal and added four assists in a 5-3 victory for Sochi over Kunlun Red Star.
The next day, Michkov was sent back to the MHL, Russia’s developmental league. However, the logic behind the move does make sense: SKA St. Petersburg loaned Michkov to Kapitan Stupino for the playoffs.
