Russian prodigy interrupted the goal series in the NHL
Forward “Philadelphia” Matvey Michkov extended the scoring streak to four games, marking an assist in the match with “Buffalo”
"Philadelphia Flyers" away beat "Buffalo Sabres" in the match of the regular championship of the National hockey League (NHL). The meeting ended with the score 3: 1.
The winners of the puck scored Cole Knuble (15th, 44th minutes), Trevor Zegras (20). Buffalo scored Jason Zucker (40).
The Russian forward of “Philadelphia” Matvey Michkov noted the assist. The 21-year-old Russian interrupted a three-game series with abandoned pucks.
In total, Michkov has since the beginning of the season six goals and two assists in 12 matches of the regular season.
In the United States, Michkov from the age of 16 began to be called “a child prodigy”, since he was considered the main star of his generation along with Connor Bedard.
Before joining the NHL, Michkov set two records. He became the youngest player in the history of the national teams of Russia and the USSR. He also surpassed the achievement of Alexander Ovechkin, scoring the puck at the age of 16 years 339 days and becoming the youngest author of a goal for the national team.
However, in the draft-2024 he was selected only under the 7th number, as the clubs did not want to take risks due to the political situation and the presence of a contract with SKA, the leading team of the KHL.
