Chinakhov will miss Monday's clash with Boston due to an upper-body problem, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chinakhov is currently mired in a 10-game goal drought dating back to March 11 against the Wild. During that stretch, the 22-year-old winger chipped in two assists, 13 shots and 15 hits while averaging 12:37 of ice time. With Chinakhov unavailable, Carson Meyer is set to make his NHL debut versus the Bruins. Given the team is heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Chinakhov will be ready in time to face Philadelphia on Tuesday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out yet.
