Fantasy sleeper with EDGE stats<\/p>\n
Egor Chinakhov<\/a>, F: He set NHL career highs in points (42 in 72 games), goals (21), assists (21), power-play points (six) and shots on goal (140) with the Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets last season. Chinakhov had a breakout stretch with 36 points (18 goals, 18 assists) and 15:37 per game in 43 games for Pittsburgh after he had six points (three goals, three assists) and 10:18 per game in 29 games for Columbus prior to being traded. Per NHL EDGE stats, Chinakhov ranked fifth among forwards in both hardest shot (99.03 mph) and 90-100 mph shot attempts (12) last season, and was also a standout at his position in 80-90 mph shot attempts (77; ninth), average shot speed (65.49; 98th percentile), max skating speed (23.63 mph; 97th percentile), 20-plus mph speed bursts (193; 94th percentile), 22-plus mph bursts (29; 98th percentile), mid-range goals (94th percentile) and long-range shots on goal (29; 96th percentile). Chinakhov, who\u2019s worth prioritizing in the mid-to-late rounds<\/a> (fantasy average draft position: 130.5), showed great chemistry with Malkin, who was quietly tied with Crosby for the Penguins lead in points per game (1.09).\u00a0— Chris Meaney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fantasy sleeper with EDGE stats Egor Chinakhov, F: He set NHL career highs in points (42 in 72…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":907436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-907435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=907435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/907436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=907435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=907435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=907435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
