Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov told he supports the SKA striker’s decision Matveya Mishkova go on loan to Sochi.
On Monday it became known that SKA had again loaned the 18-year-old striker to Sochi, as was the case last season.
— Michkov needs to develop, apparently he is not suitable for SKA now, but Matvey played well in Sochi last season. The right decision, it will be easier for him there. SKA has strong guys, competition is a difficult thing, maybe the coach doesn’t see it in the team yet. In Sochi, Mishkov will be a leader; when you direct the game, it helps you progress. There, we will trust him a lot more. He is one of the most talented hockey players in Russia, such guys should play,” Kozhevnikov told .
This season, Michkov played one match for SKA in the Fonbet KHL Championship, without scoring a goal. The forward missed three more regular season games without making the St. Petersburg squad. Last season, Michkov already played on loan for Sochi. In total, the hockey player has 20 points (9 goals + 11 assists) in 27 KHL matches for the Sochi club.
In the 2023 NHL Draft, the Russian player was selected seventh overall by the Philadelphia Flyers.
