Inside John Tortorella’s Untold Tale: The Golden Matvei Michkov That Shook the Flyers
It’s something Tortorella did with Joel Farabee and the Flyers a good amount in 2023-24, and continued with Michkov in 2024-25 before being relieved of his duties at the end of March.
Michkov, 20, could certainly use a goal like that at some point, too. In five games under Tocchet, his average ice time is sitting at 14:50, down nearly two minutes from his rookie season 16:41, most of which came under Tortorella.
Further compounding the issue is the fact that Michkov has just one goal – his only point – in those five games, and just seven shots on goal.
