The Flyers point streak ended with a 6-3 home loss to the Flames on Tuesday night. Sam Ersson was pulled in the first period and Ivan Fedotov stabilized things, but they couldn’t erase the deficit. Matvei Michkov got an assist on the 3rd goal to improve to 45 points on the season,

Michkov becomes the first rookie of the 2024-25 campaign to earn Rookie of the Month honors for the second time and the only Flyers rookie in franchise history to do so in the last 30 years. He previously earned the award in October after leading all rookies with four goals and tying for the points lead with nine.

For the second time this season, a Philadelphia Flyers star forward has been named the NHL's Rookie of the Month.
