Michkov's Scoring Streak Powers Flyers

0:00On April 16th, Madve Mitchkov has been straight fire for the Philadelphia Flyers, leading the team in points over the last 28 games from early February to the end of the regular season, even though he ranks 6th among forwards in ice time. In April, during the Flyers' playoff push, he dropped 4 goals and 7 assists in just 8 games for 11 points, tying for 6th most in the entire National Hockey League. All while averaging only 14 minutes 23 seconds per game, the lowest among any skater with double digit points that month. His efficiency is off the charts too. Points per 60 minutes rank third league-wide and first among players with over 100 minutes logged, helping the Flyers go 6 wins, 2 losses, 0 overtime losses, one of the best records around. This hot street kicked off mid-march on their California road trip, where Mitchkov's 13-5 on 5 points tied for second in the league. Feeling a 12 wins, 4 losses, 0 overtime losses run that locked in their surprise playoff spot.
