The Flyers will bench rookie Matvei Michkov against the Lightning to aid his development.

The Philadelphia Flyers will bench rookie forward Matvei Michkov for their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, as announced by head coach John Tortorella. This decision follows a decline in Michkov's recent performance, with only one assist in his last five games. Tortorella views this as a developmental step for the 19-year-old, who has 10 points in 13 games. Forward Anthony Richard will replace him in the lineup.
