Last-minute surprise change regarding Matvei Michkov, and it's causing a huge reaction

In the last few hours, the phenomenon Matvei Michkov played his very first preseason match in the KHL with SKA Saint Petersburg since being selected 7th overall in the 2023 NHL Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.

In his first game as a center, Michkov finished with 1 goal and 1 assist (2 points) and scored a shootout goal.
