Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Tickles twine Thursday
Chinakhov scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Chinakhov stretched the Penguins' lead to 3-0 in the second period. He's up to three goals and an assist over eight outings in January, which already matches his goal total from 29 games with the Blue Jackets to begin the season. The 24-year-old has 10 points, 50 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-4 rating over 37 appearances. While he's officially on the second line for the Penguins, his ice time remains limited at 12:12 per game since the trade, so Chinakhov is functionally more of a bottom-six forward still.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Tallies lone goal in loss
Chinakhov scored a goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
Chinakhov has earned two goals and one assist over five games since joining the Penguins. He's still on the second line, but he saw just 10:09 of ice time Saturday, his lowest total since he was dealt to Pittsburgh from Columbus. The winger has nine points, 44 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-5 rating across 34 appearances this season.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: First goal in black and gold
Chinakhov scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.
It was Chinakhov's first goal for the Penguins after being acquired in a trade with the Blue Jackets on Monday, and his fourth of the season. He took a long pass to break in alone and slide the puck between John Gibson's pads. Chinakhov has an elite release and good puck skills, but he hasn't been able to establish himself yet. He has one goal and four shots in two games since the trade after putting up three goals, three assists and 36 shots in 29 games with the Blue Jackets.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Traded Monday
Chinakhov was acquired by Pittsburgh from Columbus on Monday in exchange for Danton Heinen, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 third-round selection.
Chinakhov had three goals, six points, six PIM, 36 shots and 28 hits in 29 appearances with Columbus in 2025-26 before the trade. He was averaging just 10:18 of ice time, which was down from 15:43 during the 2024-25 regular season. Chinakhov should get a chance to play a bigger role in Pittsburgh, which might boost his offensive production. The 24-year-old set career highs during the 2023-24 regular season with 16 goals and 29 points in 53 outings, which is the kind of offensive pace Pittsburgh might get out of him if the Penguins prove to be a great fit.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Nets rare goal Saturday
Chinakhov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Chinakhov ended a 19-game point drought with the tally. He was scratched just three times in that span, as the Blue Jackets have put him in a fourth-line role, likely to give other teams a look if they want to trade for the winger. The 24-year-old has a meager five points, 34 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-6 rating over 26 appearances, though he had 29 points in 53 games in 2023-24 and may have more upside if he gets a change of scenery.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Two-point effort in OT win
Chinakhov scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
The 24-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period on a great individual effort. He forced a turnover deep in Buffalo's end on the forecheck, grabbed the loose puck and then out-waited Alex Lyon with a dangle before flipping a backhander past the sprawling netminder. Chinakhov remains exiled to Columbus' fourth line, a role that doesn't really fit his skill set, but he's making the best of it. In the last four contests, he's produced two goals and four points while averaging only 10:38 of ice time per game.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Pots first tally of season
Chinakhov scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.
The 24-year-old winger had a tumultuous offseason that included a trade request, and after being a healthy scratch for the first three games of the season, Chinakhov has mainly been stuck on the fourth line over the last five contests while averaging just 9:06 in ice time. He flashed his skill Saturday, however, ripping a quick shot past Arturs Silovs early in the third period to give the Blue Jackets a 3-2 lead. It might take an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to move Chinakhov into a top-six role, but he has the upside to thrive if given a chance.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Generates assist
Chinakhov logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
Chinakhov has played in three straight games after being a healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' first three contests. The 24-year-old is still being limited to the fourth line, and he saw a team-low 10:16 of ice time Tuesday despite earning his first point of the year when he set up Denton Mateychuk's third-period tally. Chinakhov has added two hits, two blocked shots and three shots on net. His usage won't move the needle in fantasy, and he likely needs a change of scenery since it appears he has gotten lost in the shuffle in Columbus.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: First point since return
Chinakhov logged an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
This was Chinakhov's first point in eight contests since he returned from a 39-game absence due to an upper-body injury. He's gone minus-8 with 13 shots on net since his return, which also saw him scratched once due to poor performance. He's still nominally on the second line, but he saw just 12:07 of ice time Friday and hasn't exceeded 14:31 in any outing since he came off injured reserve. The 24-year-old winger is at 15 points, 68 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-6 rating through 29 appearances this season. He's at risk of getting lost in the shuffle for the Blue Jackets, who will likely integrate more prospects for the 2025-26 campaign.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Returns after 39 games
Chinakhov (upper-body) was minus-2 with two shots in 13:25 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Lightning. He had missed 39 games to injury.
It will take Chinakhov some time to get back up to game speed. Prior to his injury, the young winger appeared to be taking a step forward -- he had seven goals and seven assists in his first 21 games. Chinakhov could give you a late-season boost if he can get his skates under him.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Suiting up versus Bolts
Chinakhov (back) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Chinakhov figures to slot into a top-six role with the Jackets and should see minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit as well. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old winger scored three goals in his last four contests while putting up 11 shots. He'll need to start putting up goals right away if he is going to match his total (16) from last year. In order to create the roster spot to activate Chinakhov, the Jackets will likely put Cole Sillinger (shoulder) on injured reserve.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Practices Monday
Chinakhov (back) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Chinakhov could return from a 39-game absence against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. During Monday's session, he occupied a top-six role and could see time on the power play once given clearance to return to the lineup. Chinakhov has seven goals, 14 points, 32 hits and 55 shots on net in 21 appearances this season.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Still weeks away from return
Chinakhov (upper body) is still a few weeks away from a return, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Chinakhov likely experienced a setback after resuming skating. The 23-year-old's absence reached the 25-game mark against the Rangers on Saturday, and the latest update on his status indicates he will be out for a while longer.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Begins skating Wednesday
Chinakhov (upper body) completed a solo skating session Wednesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Chinakhov has been on the shelf for the last 11 contests due to his upper-body injury and seems unlikely to play in Thursday's matchup with New Jersey considering he has yet to practice with the team. Since Justin Danforth (lower body) is also sidelined, the Jackets will likely continue utilizing Mikael Pyyhtia and Kevin Labanc in fourth-line roles.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: On injured reserve
Chinakhov was moved to injured reserve Wednesday.
Chinakhov hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 27, so he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy. That said, Chinakhov hasn't resumed skating yet and isn't believed to be close to returning. He has seven goals and 14 points in 21 outings in 2024-25.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Not ready to return
Head coach Dean Evason said Tuesday that Chinakhov (upper body) is "progressing, for sure, but as far as I know he hasn't been on the ice yet. So he's not close to coming back yet," Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Chinakov has missed the past six games due to the injury. The Russian winger was playing well before suffering the setback, as he scored in three of his last four appearances. Chinakhov will likely slot into a middle-six role once he's healthy.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Didn't make road trip
Chinakhov (upper body) didn't accompany Columbus on the team's five-game road trip and won't play Sunday versus Chicago, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
The Blue Jackets recalled Mikael Pyyhtia from AHL Cleveland on Sunday to be an extra forward. It's unclear at this time if Chinakhov will join the team. He didn't play in Friday's 5-2 win over Calgary and is considered day-to-day. Chinakhov has seven goals, 14 points, 55 shots on net and 32 hits across 21 outings this season.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Out of action Friday
Chinakhov (upper body) will be unavailable Friday versus Calgary, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Chinakhov didn't miss any time versus Montreal on Wednesday, when he scored his third goal in the last four games. Chinakhov has seven goals, seven assists, 55 shots on goal and 32 hits in 21 appearances this season. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Sunday's tilt in Chicago. Cole Sillinger will return to the lineup, replacing Chinakhov.

Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Tickles twine in loss
Chinakhov scored a goal on one shot in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal.
Chinakhov showed impressive wheels when he blew past Jayden Struble and beat Cayden Primeau glove side. The tally was the 21-year-old's third over the last four outings and gave him seven for the season. The fourth-year forward experienced a season of growth in 2023-24, and the team is giving him more top-six minutes in 2024-25. Chinakhov is averaging nearly two more minutes of TOI (17:02) per game than he had last season (15:10).
