Percentiles are based on a three-year weighted average of Fantasy Hockey Standard League Scoring Settings. Percentiles represent the players rank among his respective position.

Mikheyev was scratched Tuesday in Vancouver but could return to the lineup on Thursday. Mikheyev skated on the third line in the morning skate and comes in with one goal and three assists in his last six games.

Mikheyev will come out of the lineup Tuesday in Vancouver because of an undisclosed injury. With both Mikheyev and Zach Hyman out with injuries, look for Adam Brooks and Pierre Engvall to draw into the lineup.


Mikheyev had to undergo wrist surgery after getting cut by a skate on Friday night and will miss at least three months. He could eventually be moved to LTIR to provide the Maple Leafs with some salary relief but for now, he is on regular IR to open up a roster spot to call-up Timothy Liljegren.

Mikheyev had his wrist cut by a skate during Friday's overtime win over the Devils and was rushed to a nearby hospital immediately. Mikheyev underwent successful surgery and will be re-evaluated in three months. This timeline would make it possible for Mikheyev to return for a potential playoff run.

Mikheyev was a highly coveted forward, who had 23 goals and 22 assists (45 points) in 62 games with Omsk Avangard of the KHL. The 24-year-old is 6-foot-2 and 190 lbs and will bring a little size to the Maple Leafs forward group in 2019-20.
