The Philadelphia Flyers are buzzing. Since returning from the 4-Nations break, they’ve looked fast, confident, and—most importantly—fun.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov has been named the NHL’s Rookie of the Month for the month of February. Michkov led all rookies in goals (5) and points (10). Across his 58 games played, the 20-year-old also currently leads all rookies in goals (19) and points (44) on the season after a three-point game (2G, 1A) against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 27.

The Flyers had the perfect start. They jumped out to a 3-0 lead on the road against their biggest rival, with their most dangerous offensive line leading the charge. Matvei Michkov dazzled again, Owen Tippett was flying, and Sam Ersson stood tall in net.

The Flyers didn’t just beat the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday—they made a statement.

There’s a moment—one that doesn’t show up in official recaps or press releases—that perfectly captures what the Flyers Charities Carnival is all about.

Andrei Kuzmenko has landed in Philadelphia with something to prove.

Could this Flyers forward be a fit for this division rival?

This Flyers forward has the potential to be a nice surprise.
