More: How Flyers want to help Michkov go from 'absolute ground floor' to top
Michkov, the seventh overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft, arrived to the Flyers this summer two years ahead of schedule.
"You watch him work with his feet and his stick — he's always thinking ahead of everybody," general manager Danny Briere said last month.

The Flyers pick up November on Saturday when they host the Bruins (1 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
