Rookie Matvei Michkov will be back in the lineup for the Flyers Monday night against the San Jose Sharks.
On Pattison's Anthony SanFilippo — from his honeymoon in an undisclosed location — was the first to report this:
Also, while I’m sitting here on the beach. I’m hearing that Matvei Michkov will be back in the lineup tonight. We’ll see what Torts says after the morning skate, but, it sounds like his stay in Chateau Bow Wow may be over. #LetsGoFlyers
The Flyers have since confirmed the news:
Lineup update for #SJSvsPHI:
• Forwards Matvei Michkov and Ryan Poehling draw back into the lineup tonight.
• Erik Johnson returns to action on the blueline.
