Head coach of the NHL club “Philadelphia Flyers » Jean Tortorella said he had not yet managed to get to know the attacker well Matveya Mishkov.
Michkov was selected seventh overall by Philadelphia in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. In July, the club signed the 19-year-old Russian to a three-year, entry-level contract.
— Michkov loves to play hockey. He wants to be on the ice all the time. Again, I’m not closely associated with him and I don’t know him very well; I’ve only talked to him four or five times, but he seems like a really nice guy who just wants to play hockey. I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s like,” Tortorella was quoted as saying by Flayers Nation.
The Russian forward played for Sochi last season on loan from SKA. He made 47 appearances for the team and scored 41 points (19 goals and 22 assists).
