Michkov scored the hosts’ second goal in that encounter and also converted a free throw in the shootout. It was his second game for Sochi after leaving SKA.
“Before the first game, I didn’t have time to talk with Matvey, to work with him,” Svetlov said. – Therefore, he went on the ice in a different suit than today. Against Ak Bars, Michkov played well, scored a nice goal in the majority, then he also converted a ball. In his person, we received a good supply, the necessary help.
