Chinakov will be a game-time decision against the Flyers on Thursday due to an illness, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chinakov was unable to practice Wednesday and is now a doubt heading into his team's clash with Philadelphia. The 22-year-old winger has racked up 12 points in his last 11 contests, though he has zero goals in his previous three outings. If Chinakhov does miss out, Kent Johnson could move into a top-six role while Brendan Gaunce could join the fourth line versus the Flyers.
