Chinakhov notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Chinakhov has played in just two of the Penguins' last six games due to lower-body issues. He has a point in each of those contests, which suggests his early struggles on offense could be coming to a close if he can stay in the lineup. He's at four points, 14 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through nine appearances.
