Last Kontinental Hockey League season, Michkov moved from SKA to Sochi on loan and scored 20 (9+11) points in 27 games for his new team. In 2021 he also won the Glinka / Gretzky Cup as part of the Russian junior team.
In the previous NHL regular season season, Philadelphia finished 14th in the Eastern Conference standings with 75 points in 82 games.
