Chinakhov (lower body) is good to go for Monday's road matchup against the Mammoth.
Chinakhov missed back-to-back games due to his lower-body injury but made solid progress in his recovery after it was relayed Friday that the forward had no clear timeline for a return to game action. The 25-year-old is poised for top-line duties Monday next to Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust, which makes Chinakhov an attractive option going forward if he sticks in that role.
