  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Return delayed

    Chinakhov (ankle) didn't skate with the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    The 22-year-old winger had begun to skate before the All-Star break, so the fact Chinakhov wasn't on the ice Thursday suggests he may have had some sort of setback in his recovery from a high-ankle sprain. "He's still progressing," coach Brad Larsen said. "It's gone longer than you'd hope, but that's just the nature of that injury." Chinakhov has been sidelined since Dec. 19, missing 20 straight games headed into Friday's tilt with the Maple Leafs.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Placed on injured reserve

    Chinakhov was designated for injured reserve Tuesday with an ankle injury.

    Chinakhov and the Jackets are still awaiting some MRI results but the winger is expected to miss some time. with Booner Jenner (thumb) and Jakub Voracek (concussion) already sidelined, Columbus finds itself getting thinner and thinner at forward. Kirill Marchenko is the most likely candidate to step into Chinakhov's top-six role though Sean Kuraly could also be moved to the wing.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Nets third goal of season

    Chinakhov scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 win against Florida.

    Chinakhov has recorded a point in four of his last five contests to raise his season totals to three goals and 10 points in 18 games.

The 21-year-old forward has offensive upside, but until his role expands, it will be difficult for Chinakhov to make regular contributions.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Nets lone marker

    Chinakhov scored during a 7-1 loss to the Devils on Sunday.

    Chinakhov opened the season with a minus-5 rating in three outings but has rebounded from the poor start with consecutive two-assist efforts.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Wraps up huge preseason

    Chinakhov scored his league-leading sixth goal of the preseason in Saturday's overtime loss to the Capitals.

    He wired a shot from the slot past Darcy Kuemper on a Blue Jackets power play late in the first period. Chinakhov's offensive outburst during exhibition play has him in strong position to begin the season on the NHL roster -- an assignment that also figures to include a spot on the second power-play unit.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Getting look on second line

    Chinakhov will skate on the second line with Jack Roslovic and Jakub Voracek in Thursday's preseason game against the Blues, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    The 21-year-old is getting the opportunity due to a lower-body injury to Gustav Nyquist, who is expected to be healthy for the start of the regular season, but Chinakhov has also earned it with his play this preseason. Kirill Marchenko was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday, giving Chinakhov a little less competition for a roster spot in Columbus, but the Jackets still have some tough choices to make before settling on an Opening Night lineup.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Pushing for roster spot

    Chinakhov scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's preseason victory over the Capitals.

    The 2020 first-round pick is one of a number of younger trying to win spots in an increasingly crowded Columbus forward group, but Chinakhov has improved his odds of an NHL assignment for Opening Night with three goals in the last two preseason games. The 21-year-old played 62 games for the Blue Jackets last season, scoring just seven goals and 14 points with a minus-27 rating, but he has the talent to take a big step forward if he gets an opportunity. Unfortunately for Chinakhov, other top prospects like Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger and Kirill Marchenko may be ahead of him on the depth chart.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Back in there Sunday

    Chinakhov (upper body) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Still out Tuesday

    Chinakhov (upper body) remains out of action Tuesday versus the Sharks, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

    Chinakhov can be considered out indefinitely until it's reported he's returned to practice. This will be his eighth straight absence with the injury, and given how little time is left in the season, the Blue Jackets may not rush him back.

  • Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov: Remains on shelf Saturday

    Chinakhov (upper body) will miss out versus the Kings on Saturday.

    Chinakhov will be absent for his sixth straight outing due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old winger was mired in a 10-game goal drought during which he recorded just 13 shots. Whenever Chinakhov is given the green light to return, he will likely need to start shooting more if he is going to break out of his current funk. While he hasn't been officially ruled out versus Anaheim on Sunday, the fact that Columbus is heading into a back-to-back suggests Chinakhov will likely remain unavailable.
