Bailey’s Daily: Month of Michkov; Landeskog Injury Update
In Sunday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.
Flyers News
This isn’t exactly Philadelphia Flyers news or anything of the like, but it should be exciting to hear nonetheless.
On Saturday evening, we found that Flyers rookie Matvei Michkov was, at the very least, spending the day in Philadelphia with his mom Maria, brother Prohor, and new teammate Egor Zamula, as posted on Matvei’s Instagram account. Maria Michkov stood between Zamula and her two sons holding a massive bouquet of flowers, celebrating her birthday. Happy birthday, Maria!
This is also the final confirmation that the Michkov family had arrived in Philadelphia, though I was pretty certain they had arrived at least a week ago. Danny Briere had said at Michkov’s introductory press conference that the plan was for the Flyers to bring them over around 4-to-6 weeks ahead of time, though it seems they were more than willing to make the grueling, long trip across the world early.
Additionally, this also confirms that Zamula is back in North America after spending virtually his entire offseason in Russia ahead of what will be his second full season with the Flyers in Philadelphia.
NHL News
For those keeping track, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog is still holding out hope for a miraculous return to the ice at some point in the 2024-25 season, with Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar revealing that “[Landeskog is] trying to make a return here sometime near the start of the season,”.
In that same interview, though, Bednar conceded that top-six winger Artturi Lehkonen may not be ready before the start of the season.
In a move that has mostly flown under the radar in the last few days, the Washington Capitals are bringing back old friend Jakub Vrana on a professional tryout agreement after a difficult few years for the winger in Detroit and St. Louis.

My goodness…pretty decent size difference between Eggy and Matvei.
Welcome to the Michkov family. Great to see them and I hope they enjoy being here. This will be great for Matvie emotionally. That will give him peace and stability there which will transfer to his game. Out of the Russian players I figured Zamula would be the one to become friends with Michkov. Don’t be surprised if he ends up on Michkov’s line because it looks like they forming a bond.
Zamula is a blue-liner……not a forward….will not be on a line with Michkov…..now on the PP they should be together on a unit…..and they can be on the ice at times together in 5-on-5 situations.
Yeah I know that but he’s a defenseman isn’t he and we still put them on the ice with a line don’t we?????
Good to have zamula around
I like the Z man. I’ve kept an eye on him watching his game. I see him sticking around for awhile. The thing that will turn him into a beast is he has to put on weight. Sanhiem did it and his game jumped. I think the same thing will happen for Zamula. Plus he gets to keep his new little buddy Michkov for a while. LOL
