The Flyers star has been fined by NHL Player Safety.
As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before.
NHL Player Safety has fined Philadelphia Flyers star rookie Matvei Michkov $2,473.96, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for high-sticking Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield on Sunday (Dec. 29).
After a brief scrum with Byfield, Michkov swung his stick toward the Kings power forward, which hit him in the head. Michkov received a two-minute minor for high-sticking on the play.
This is the first time in Michkov's career that he received a fine from NHL Player Safety.
In 35 games this season, Michkov leads all rookies with 12 goals and 29 points.
