Matvei Michkov hit a significant milestone on Tuesday night in Edmonton. In his seventh ever period of NHL action, the 19-year-old Philadelphia Flyers rookie scored his first career goal — and then just a couple minutes later scored his second.
The two firsts is just another thing to check off during this first taste of what Michkov can bring to the Flyers and do in the best league in the world. So far, three games in, he is looking absolutely electric.
And it’s not just the goals, either.
Flyers head coach John Tortorella made sure that we don’t just talk about Michkov’s goal-scoring ability or his ability to create scoring chances out of nothing with his passing and offensive reads, he is just really blossoming into an all-around talent.
