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.

He may only be 19 years old, but Matvei Michkov has the ability to immediately transform the Flyers’ recently ineffective power play.

But 36 saves is still 36 saves, and Samuel Ersson looked cool and confident in a preseason shutout. The 24-year-old goalie is still one of the top two or three most important players on the roster, especially considering how much he struggled in the second half last season.

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.

Another preseason game, another big performance by rookie sensation Matvei Michkov. After coming up empty in his preseason debut, he has notched goals in two straight games, including a pair in a 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday — and they weren’t an empty-netter like his tally against the New York Islanders.

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.
