In our soon-to-be-released team poll, Chicago Blackhawks players were asked which player doesn’t get enough credit for their role on the team. It’s no surprise Mikheyev was at the top of the list.
As Arvid Söderblom put it, “He does a lot of the quiet work.”
That quiet work is largely Mikheyev’s play on the penalty kill. He’s one of the league’s top penalty killers, logging 2:48 minutes a game and allowing just 5.15 goals against per 60 minutes. Based on Evolving-Hockey’s model, he’s tied for fourth-most impactful forward while shorthanded in the league. He’s one of the primary reasons why the Blackhawks have the league’s best penalty kill percentage.

The NHL trade deadline is Friday, but it sounds like the Oilers and Chicago Blackhawks are making inroads sooner.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported Monday afternoon, "Hearing talks are intensifying for Edmonton to acquire Connor Murphy from Chicago."
The Oilers' offense has been solid this season, but they've allowed too many goals.
To some extent, the goaltending could be better. But there is also fault to be given to the defensemen for that.

Sabres Have 2 Blackhawks Trade Targets To Consider
The Buffalo Sabres are undoubtedly a team to pay attention to between now and the 2026 NHL trade deadline. With the Sabres looking to cement themselves a spot in the playoffs, they should be looking to add to their roster.
The Chicago Blackhawks are in a different position, as they are among the bottom teams in the NHL and should be sellers. Due to this, let's look at two players who the Sabres should consider pursuing from Chicago.
The Sabres would benefit by adding another depth forward to their roster, and Ilya Mikheyev could be an interesting player for them to bring in. The 31-year-old forward could fit well in their bottom six, as he is a speedy winger who contributes offensively. He is also an excellent penalty-killer, so he would help the Sabres in that department.
