Michkov made a significant in his first game back, as he had a goal and an assist during regulation. Michkov’s goal was particularly impressive, as he scored a beauty on the breakaway.

This was undoubtedly an excellent way for Michkov to respond to being healthy scratched twice. The 19-year-old winger now has five goals and 12 points in 14 games this season.
