It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for young Flyers' forward Matvei Michkov in his young NHL career so far.

And it looks like it has hit another bump.

After registering no points in the first four games of the series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Michkov was swapped out of line rushes at Philadelphia's practice on Sunday... indicating a scratch for Game 5 in Pittsburgh, with Alex Bump slotting in.

After some early patience, the Philadelphia Flyers are poised to put the struggling Matvei Michkov in the press box.
