The seventh overall pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in the latest NHL draft is still having himself a heck of a season in Russia. In 30 games so far, he has 11 goals and 26 points. Michkov started the season with SKA St. Petersburg, but was loaned to Sochi so he could get more ice time. SKA has a pretty stacked lineup and is hoping to make a solid run at the Gagarin Cup.
