Players To Watch:
Philadelphia – Matvei Michkov’s hype train has kicked into full gear, the Flyers rookie had 2 goals against the Edmonton Oilers in his last game and seems ready to fulfill all the promise surrounding him when he was drafted with the 7th pick overall in the 2023 NHL Draft.
Seattle – Free Agent defenseman Brandon Montour has proved to be a valuable addition to the Kraken, averaging over 23 minutes of time on ice per game. Montour has 2 assists in 4 games this season and seems to have settled in nicely with defense partner Jamie Oleksiak. The pair is a combined +8 through the first 4 games.
