    Flyers’ Matvei Michkov fined for high-sticking Kings’ Quinton Byfield – NBC Sports Philadelphia


    The NHL fined Matvei Michkov $2,473.96 after the Flyers’ rookie whipped his stick at Quinton Byfield’s head in the team’s 5-4 loss Sunday night to the Kings.

    Michkov was retaliating to Byfield giving him a subtle shot to the face and then a push as the two players got into it during the third period. Michkov was whistled for high-sticking and Byfield for roughing.

    Michkov’s fine will go to the players’ emergency assistance fund.

    The 20-year-old winger had a goal and an assist in the Flyers’ loss. He entered Monday leading all rookies in scoring with 29 points (12 goals, 17 assists) through 35 games. He has recorded 10 multi-point games and three overtime winners.

    Recently, Flyers’ prospect Matvei Michkov found himself in hot water after being fined for high-sticking Kings’ forward Quinton Byfield during a preseason game. The incident occurred during a physical matchup between the two teams, with Michkov’s stick making contact with Byfield’s face.

    The NHL Department of Player Safety reviewed the play and ultimately decided to fine Michkov for his actions. While no injury was reported as a result of the high-sticking, the league is taking a firm stance on dangerous plays that could potentially cause harm to players on the ice.

    Michkov has since expressed remorse for his actions and has apologized to Byfield for the incident. The Flyers organization has also issued a statement condemning the behavior and reiterating their commitment to player safety.

    As the preseason continues, it serves as a reminder to players to always play the game with respect and sportsmanship, and to avoid actions that could result in disciplinary action from the league. Let’s hope that both Michkov and Byfield can put this incident behind them and focus on their upcoming seasons.

  • Byfield scores 2nd goal with 1:41 left in OT, lifting the Kings past the Oilers 4-3

    Byfield scores 2nd goal with 1:41 left in OT, lifting the Kings past the Oilers 4-3


    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Quinton Byfield scored his second goal of the game with 1:41 remaining in overtime as the Los Angeles Kings beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Saturday.

    Byfield scored on a wrist shot from the right circle to give Los Angeles a win in its first of four regular-season games against Edmonton, which has knock the Kings out of the playoffs for three straight seasons.

    Warren Foegele had a goal and two assists, Tanner Jeannot also scored and the Kings won their sixth straight home game. Darcy Kuemper made 24 stops.

    Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a power-play goal, Kasperi Kapanen and Viktor Arvidsson also scored for the Oilers, who had their three-game winning streak halted. Stuart Skinner made 24 saves.

    The Kings retooled in the offseason, bringing in Foegele and Jeannot with the idea of matching the physicality the Oilers showed in last season’s five-game first round exit. Playing on a line with Byfield, they helped Los Angeles by combining for seven points and a plus-7 rating.

    Takeaways

    Oilers: Edmonton dropped points for just the fifth time in 21 games when leading after two periods, dropping to 16-2-3.

    Kings: The penalty kill has been a glaring weakness in LA’s postseason losses to the Oilers. They gave Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and company just two chances in the game.

    Key moment

    Jeannot took the puck away from Evan Bouchard in overtime by overpowering him along the wall, giving Los Angeles possession for the first time and forcing McDavid and Draisaitl to tire themselves out on defense.

    Key stat

    McDavid and Draisaitl are each on 10-game point streaks. For McDavid, it is his 16th point streak of at least 10 games, which is second to Wayne Gretzky (31) in NHL history.

    Up Next

    Both teams are back in action Sunday, with the Oilers visiting Anaheim and the Kings hosting Philadelphia.
