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

Logs helper in win

October 29, 2024
Chinakhov produced an assist in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
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.

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 toward new deal
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
June 4, 2024
Chinakov, who will be a restricted free agent July 1, is working with the Blue Jackets on a new contract, according to player agent Shumi Babaev on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Chinakov is coming off a 2023-24 campaign in which he set new personal bests with 16 goals, 13 assists and 110 shots. Injuries limited the 23-year-old winger to just 53 games this season. If he can stay healthy next year, Chinakov certainly could challenge for both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds.
