Matvei Michkov tallies twice versus Avs as Flyers win second straight

Matvei Michkov scored twice and Trevor Zegras recorded three assists to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The win marked Philadelphia's second straight triumph following a season-opening nine-game winless stretch. Joseph Woll made 24 saves for the Flyers, who played without several injured regulars including Travis Konecny, Tyson Foerster, and Cam York.

Michkov opened the scoring with a power-play goal and added his second midway through the second period. Martin Necas cut the deficit for Colorado before Noel Acciari restored Philadelphia's two-goal cushion with a third-period deflection. T.J. Hughes scored late for the Avalanche, but Philadelphia held on despite Colorado pulling goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood in the final minutes.
