Morning Notes: Michkov, Kolosov, Mailloux

Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov has impressed the team during training camp and preseason play following an offseason focused on conditioning. Head coach Rick Tocchet noticed an improved stamina level in the young winger, while General Manager Daniel Briere expressed satisfaction with Michkov's summer preparation. Michkov recorded three goals and seven points across four preseason games as the Flyers prepare for the upcoming regular season.

Meanwhile, Flyers goaltender Aleksei Kolosov has struggled during the preseason, conceding nine goals on 42 shots behind Joseph Woll and Dan Vladar. Elsewhere in the league, St. Louis Blues defenseman Logan Mailloux suffered an upper-body injury during a preseason game, putting his availability for Friday's season opener in question.
