Matvei Michkov Scouting Report

After a slow start to his KHL season that resulted in him being a healthy scratch playing for SKA he was loaned back to HC Sochi and his game has come back to life
Over his last ten game segment Michkov has played to his offensive identity - scoring 3G-4A He's averaging 16:30 TOI and being deployed at ES and PP#1
His off the puck detail will have to continue to improve and be more consistent - late offensive zone exits for example - and his skating will definitely need to go to another level as he matures. He's a capable skater at the KHL level but the NHL is much quicker. Overall, however he has started to regain his confidence and play to his offensive identity. Positive progress.
