Never say never, but with the way Matvei Michkov has been trending scoring-wise, winning the Calder Trophy in a historically tight 2024-25 race seems unlikely. He has two points in his last 12 games, which is currently the most gloomy stretch of his NHL career. With fellow rookies Macklin Celebrini and Lane Hutson rising and being lineup staples to boot, Michkov’s declining usage isn’t helping (under 16 minutes of ice time per game since November).
