Hockey forward “Sochi” Matvei Mishkov told what he’s interested in watching this season.
— Do you have any idea who will win the Kharlamov Cup this season?
— I’m not really MHL. But I think the SKA-1946 is the favorite in the draw. There, the team is more balanced, there is a good technical staff. Since November, Nikita Komarov, with whom we played at SKA, has been working there as a development coach. I think they have a good chance of winning.
— Do you follow the NHL closely?
“At the moment I’m just focusing on my game. There’s not much time for the rest. The matches take place every other day, travel. You don’t always have a lot of time and you can’t watch the NHL. I watch more KHL. But I watch certain moments, strong moments from overseas.
— What attracted you to the KHL recently?
— Reed Boucher is on track to score 50 goals for the championship. He still has a little time left to beat Mozyakin’s record (48). I’m interested in him as a sniper. It will be interesting to follow the end of the season.
— What can you learn from Boucher?
— His concentration on the goal. He tries to throw every time and hits accurately. There is a lot to learn,” Michkov told .
Avangard forward Reed Boucher scored 44 goals in this championship. The KHL record for goals in a championship belongs to Sergei Moziakine (48).
Michkov, 19, has scored 38 (17+21) points in 45 matches this season. These are the forward’s personal bests in goals, assists and points for a KHL championship. Michkov will play in the KHL under contract until 2026. He was selected seventh overall in the 2023 NHL Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.
