Impact The 24-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period on a great individual effort, as he forced a turnover deep in Buffalo's end on the forecheck, grabbed the loose puck and then out-waited Alex Lyon with a dangle before flipping a backhander past the sprawling netminder. Chinakhov remains exiled to Columbus' fourth line, a role that doesn't really fit his skill set, but he's making the best of it -- over the last four contests, he's produced two goals and four points in only 10:38 a game in ice time.
