Coach Addresses Rumors
Philadelphia Flyers coach Rick Tocchet stated on Wednesday that winger Matvei Michkov has not requested a trade from the organization. His remarks came before a game against the Edmonton Oilers and followed a Tuesday report suggesting the player might seek a new setting. Tocchet dismissed the claims as untrue and not worth addressing further.
Player Remains Focused
Michkov indicated he is content in Philadelphia. The young Russian leads the team with 10 goals and shares the top spot with 14 points. He noted that he avoids following news coverage and stays concentrated on upcoming games instead.
Team's Recent Struggles
The Flyers reached the second round of the playoffs last season in a surprise appearance. They have since lost 15 of their first 20 games as the season approaches the quarter mark.
