From Bench to Breakthrough: How Matvei Michkov Turned the Flyers’ Fate in a Heart-Stopping Moment
York let a long-range wrister fly, beating Silovs cleanly through loads of traffic in front of the net. It was Michkov’s first point of the series and first playoff point of his nascent NHL career, helping York earn his first playoff goal in the tense 1-0 win.
“It was good for him to come back and have an impact, obviously he had some chances. It’s playoff hockey, it’s hard. For a young kid, it’s always tough,” Cates said of his linemate.
“Hopefully, he kind of learned. He got his chances and was flying tonight. So, good on him to take it for what it was and come back ready and hungry to help the team.”
