Well, my bold preseason prediction that Matvei Michkov would score 30+ goals has some hope.  Since coming back from the Four Nations break, Michkov has completely torched the Oilers and the Penguins twice.  Michkov scored two goals and an assist with four shots on Thursday, giving him eight points in his three games over the past week.  Going back to the two games before the break, he also has 24 shots on goal in five games, which is incredibly encouraging going forward.  I'm all in on Michkov long term as I've noted throughout the season, but his rough patch in January has left him on the waiver wire on around 50% of leagues.  Even if he's just a hot schmotato for now, he's clearly must own right now because of the undeniable upside.  If his shot rate gets up to three per game eventually, he's going to be a top 20 player for years.  Let's take a look at what else happened on Thursday night:
