Columbus Blue Jackets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Despite his 2023-24 being bookended by injuries, Chinakhov took a step forward with 16 goals and 13 assists in 53 appearances in his third year with the Blue Jackets. The forward finally got a chance at some top-six minutes, averaging 15:10 of ice time per game. At 23 years old, there's still room for more growth in his game, especially if the Blue Jackets can claw their way out of the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. If he shakes off the upper-body injury that ended his campaign and avoids further lengthy absences, he could challenge for a 20-goal, 40-point year in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

First point since return
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
March 21, 2025
Chinakhov logged an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
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.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Chinakhov drew into 62 games with the Blue Jackets as a rookie in 2021-22, picking up seven goals, 14 points and an ugly minus-27 rating while averaging 12:30 of ice time per contest. The 2020 first-round pick's production should improve in 2022-23, as he's expected to see regular usage in Columbus' top six and on the team's second power-play unit, but counting on anything more than double-digit goals and 30-35 points from Chinakhov would be unwise.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working with No. 2 unit
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
March 3, 2025
Chinakhov, who has been sidelined with a back injury, practiced with the No. 2 power-play unit ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Lightning, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
ANALYSIS
Chinakhov would seem to be trending in the right direction after missing the last 39 games due to his back problem. Prior to getting hurt, the Russian winger was offering decent offensive production, notching seven goals and seven helpers, including five power-play points, in 21 appearances.
