The winger is at nine points, 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests.

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.

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

Impact 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, 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

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 on Tuesday.

Impact 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.
