Flyers vs. Islanders Preseason Preview: Michkov, Luchanko Hit Home Ice

The Flyers started the preseason schedule with two games on the road. Three of their remaining five games are on home ice at Wells Fargo Center, including Thursday night’s action against the New York Islanders. This presents the first opportunity for fans to see Matvei Michkov on the ice at Wells Fargo Center. To this point, Michkov has only played in one rookie game in Allentown and a preseason game in Washington.

Thursday’s game comes fresh off the first round of roster cuts, trimming the roster from 58 players to start down to 44. There is still plenty at stake with five games remaining on the preseason schedule.

The Flyers roster for the game is as follows:

Forwards

• 11 Travis Konecny
• 17 Jett Luchanko
• 18 Rodrigo Abols
• 19 Garnet Hathaway
• 39 Matvei Michkov
• 43 Oscar Eklind
• 44 Nick Deslauriers
• 48 Morgan Frost
• 71 Tyson Foerster
• 74 Owen Tippett

• 6 Travis Sanheim
• 8 Cam York
• 13 Adam Ginning
• 36 Emil Andrae
• 77 Erik Johnson

Goalies

• 40 Cal Petersen

The two prospects with all eyes on them at camp get another look. For Michkov, this will be his first game at Wells Fargo Center. Jett Luchanko also gets another look. Travis Konecny, Travis Sanheim, Cam York, and Sam Ersson will also make their preseason debuts.

The Islanders roster will be announced closer to game time.
