Top Yegor Chinakhov News

  • 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).

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Scores again Thursday

    Chinakhov scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 7-6 overtime win over the Lightning.

    This was Chinakhov's second game in a row with a goal. He gave the Blue Jackets their first lead of Thursday's chaotic win, and his tally was the fifth of six combined goals between the two teams in a span of 5:50 during the second period. While he's been in a middle-six role lately, Chinakhov has not stopped producing secondary scoring. He's now at six tallies, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Tallies in Monday's win

    Chinakhov scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

    Chinakhov can't get a point streak going, but he has two goals and two assists over his last seven outings. He's been a decent depth scorer in 2024-25 with five goals and seven helpers over 18 contests. The winger has added 45 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating. He was on the third line Monday, though he's often played a larger role and could move up again the next time the Blue Jackets shuffle their lines.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Strikes on power play in loss

    Chinakhov scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added four hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

    Chinakhov snapped an eight-game goal drought with his first-period tally. The seven shots were a season high for the winger, who was on a new-look second line alongside Dmitri Voronkov and Cole Sillinger for this contest. Overall, Chinakhov has 10 points, 42 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-4 rating across 14 outings this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Manages assist Tuesday

    Chinakhov recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.

    Chinakhov's scoring pace has dropped over the last couple of weeks -- this was just his second assist in the last seven games. The winger is at nine points, 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests. He'll have fantasy appeal as a burgeoning power winger as long as he stays on the top line, but he may drop to streaming status if he slips down the lineup.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Logs helper in win

    Chinakhov produced an assist in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.

    Chinakhov spent a couple of games on the second line without much success, but he was reunited with Kirill Marchenko and Sean Monahan on the top line Monday. Through eight outings, Chinakhov has three goals, five assists, three power-play points, 22 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-5 rating. The Blue Jackets have been more productive than expected early on, and the 23-year-old's success on the top line is a noticeable part of that.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Scores late in loss

    Chinakhov scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.

    Chinakhov broke up Filip Gustavsson's shutout bid with 1:25 left in the game. The 23-year-old Chinakhov was initially questionable for Saturday's game after sustaining a lower-body injury while blocking a shot in Tuesday's game against Florida. However, the injury didn't cost him any playing time. He saw a season-high 21:11 of ice time with the Blue Jackets dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen Saturday. Chinakhov is off to a strong start this year with three goals, four assists, 17 shots on net, six hits and a plus-5 rating through five contests.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Ready to rock

    Chinakhov (lower body) will be in the lineup Saturday versus Minnesota, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Chinakhov was injured Tuesday, but he managed to play and score against the Sabres on Thursday before missing practice Friday. Chinakhov is off to a great start this season, scoring twice and adding four assists in four appearances.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Hopeful to play Saturday

    Chinakhov didn't practice Friday due to a lower-body injury, but the team hopes he'll be able to play Saturday against the Wild, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Chinakhov suffered his injury while blocking a shot during Tuesday's win over Buffalo, and he underwent precautionary X-rays on Friday. Despite his absence from practice Friday, the team is hopeful that he won't be forced to miss any game action due to the injury. Over his first four appearances of the season, he's recorded two goals and six points while averaging 18:44 of ice time.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Racks up three points in win

    Chinakhov scored a goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche.

    Chinakhov is up to four points, including two on the power play, over the first two games of the season. His chemistry with Sean Monahan has been instant, and it likely helps that Kirill Marchenko is also on the top line -- Chinakhov played alongside Marchenko frequently in 2023-24. Chinakhov likely won't be a point-per-game player this year, but he'll maintain decent fantasy value as long as he's on the top line.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Adds power-play helper

    Chinakhov produced a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

    Chinakhov played on the top line and led all Columbus forwards with 20:48 of ice time in the season opener. If he can keep that role and a spot on the first power-play unit all year, he is poised for a breakout campaign after logging 29 points in 53 games in 2023-24. Chinakhov won't have any immediate competition after Boone Jenner (shoulder) underwent surgery Wednesday and will be out for 5-6 months, though left-shot forwards Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson, both natural centers, may eventually push for more ice time beyond their current third-line spots.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Tallies on power play

    Chinakhov scored a power-play goal on six shots in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.

    Chinakhov's second-period tally tied the game at 1-1. His presence on the power play is an encouraging sign Chinakhov will be a significant part of the Blue Jackets' offense in 2024-25 after he signed a two-year, $4.2 million extension in June. He recorded 29 points (two on the power play) in 53 outings last season before his campaign was cut short by an upper-body injury that cost him the final month.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Gearing up for season

    Chinakhov is recovered from an upper-body injury and will be present for the start of training camp, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site Tuesday.

    Chinakhov missed the final 17 contests of the 2023-24 regular season due to the injury. The 23-year-old appears to be well past that setback, and he also signed a two-year contract extension with Columbus this summer. Chinakhov should see power-play time while being firmly entrenched among the top-six forward group. The Russian winger has generated 56 points in 145 career outings as an NHLer.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Inks two-year extension

    Chinakhov (upper body) signed a two-year, $4.2 millon contract extension with the Blue Jackets on Friday.

    Chinakhov missed the last 17 games of the regular season due to the injury. He ended the campaign with 16 goals and 13 assists in 53 contests. Look for Chinakhov to serve in a top-six capacity in 2024-25.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Not playing Tuesday

    Chinakhov (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Carolina, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Chinakhov will miss his 17th consecutive contest. He will conclude the 2023-24 campaign with 16 goals, 29 points, 110 shots on net and 43 hits in 53 games.
