Begins skating Wednesday Chinakhov (upper body) completed a solo skating session Wednesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

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, but the injury hasn't cost him any 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.

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.

Impact 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.
