Sean Couturier’s ‘perfect leadership’ paying off as Michkov settles in

The Philadelphia Flyers topped the Boston Bruins by a score of 3-2 Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center, and once again, Russian prodigy Matvei Michkov dazzled for all in attendance.

The 19-year-old phenom scored a pair of goals in the outing, including the game-winner in overtime to earn the Flyers their third victory of the preseason.

It should come as no surprise that all three of those wins have come with Michkov in the lineup.

But while Michkov’s overtime heroics are the talk of the town, it was a display of leadership from captain Sean Couturier that turned the tide of the game.
