Yegor Chinakhov Returns From 39-Game Absence
15 seconds agoColumbus Blue Jackets winger Yegor Chinakhov (back) is good to go on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning after being sidelined for 39 games. It has been a long road back for Chinakhov, who last played on Nov. 27. He reportedly consulted with at least six doctors, including one in his native Russia, to resolve his back issue. Chinakhov started the season with a five-game point streak and has tallied 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 21 games. On Tuesday, he will return to action on the second line and is expected to spend time with the second power-play unit.
