Chinakhov has 14 goals, 24 points, 79 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances this season. He's worth a look in fantasy while his offense is hot.

Chinakhov (illness) is expected to play Thursday versus the Flyers, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chinakhov was a game-time decision, but he was able to take warmups. The 22-year-old will remain in his usual second-line role. He's slowed down lately but still has seven goals and five assists over his last 11 contests.

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.

Chinakhov has found the scoresheet in six straight games, erupting for six goals and 10 points over that stretch, and the 2020 first-round pick has already set new career highs on the season in goals (nine) and points (15) in only 23 contests.

Chinakhov has five goals and nine points over his five-game point streak, nearly doubling his scoring output from the 17 games prior to his surge. The line of Marchenko, Chinakhov and Dmitri Voronkov, all Russians in their early 20s, has been a revelation for the Blue Jackets of late, and the fantasy values of all three are soaring.

Chinakhov scored his eighth goal of the season in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

With the Blue Jackets down 3-1 in the second period, Chinakhov flipped a shot from the blue line that Timo Meier tried to knock down, only to turn it into a knuckleball that skipped past Akira Schmid. Puck luck has definitely been in Chinakhov's favor lately -- the 22-year-old has found the back of the net in four straight games, and he's collected five tallies on only 11 shots during that stretch.

Chinakhov scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 6-5 overtime win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was impressive. Chinakhov blew around T.J. Brodie on the left wing and went five-hole on Ilya Samsonov at the mid-point of the second to push the score to 4-0. His goal streak stands at three-games and four goals (six points). And Chinakhov has fired nine shots in that span. He continues to see growth in his game, year over year. His seven goals this season equal his career best from 2021-22 (62 games), but he's done it in 20. And Chinakov has 11 points in those 20 games after delivering 13 in 30 last season. Chinakhov has always been known for his incredible shot, and it looks like he's improved his speed and mobility over time.
