Michkov picked up two assists in a 4-1 win over Nashville on Thursday.

Michkov is off to a slow start this season, but there may be signs of life. This was his first multi-point game of the season, and he has five points (one goal, four assists) and 16 shots in his last seven games. It's modest for a sniper who put up 26 goals and 63 points, including 17 power-play points, in 80 games last season. However, expect Michkov to turn things around soon, even though his average ice time is down from last season (16:41 to 15:04). Fantasy managers could view him as a trade target before his value presumably rises.
