Yegor Chinakhov Leads The Way For Columbus Friday
1 year agoColumbus Blue Jackets right wing Yegor Chinakhov had a career-high three points as the team rushed past St. Louis 5-2 on Friday with a three-goal third period. Chinakhov provided two of the goals in the third and also had one assist in the game. The big performance came after Chinakhov had gone four games without a single point. It's not been a fun time for the Russian in Columbus, and he's reportedly considered handing in a formal trade request as Chinakhov hasn't been happy with a fourth-line role. The 22-year-old has seen an uptick in minutes recently and finally came good on Friday, but he needs to be more consistent with his production to cement a top-six role on the team.
