The Flyers started the preseason schedule with two games on the road. Three of their remaining five games are on home ice at Wells Fargo Center, including Thursday night's action against the New York Islanders. This presents the first opportunity for fans to see Matvei Michkov on the ice at Wells Fargo Center. To this point, Michkov has only played in one rookie game in Allentown and a preseason game in Washington.
