Chinakhov (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers.
Chinakhov will sit out for the third time in four games due to a nagging lower-body issue. Rutger McGroarty is up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and will be in the lineup Thursday to replenish the Penguins' depth. Chinakhov's status is day-to-day, making him questionable for Saturday versus the Predators.
