Ivan Provorov and Yegor Chinakhov of the Columbus Blue Jackets (CBJ) traveled to San Jose for their upcoming game against the Sharks. Provorov had X-rays for a lower-body issue, while Chinakhov missed a previous game due to an upper-body injury. Both players are expected to play. The team practiced at SAP Center in San Jose, with Chinakhov set to return to the lineup. Other players like Danforth and Gudbranson dealt with minor issues but are likely to play. The Blue Jackets aim to overcome recent struggles against the Sharks.
Henry Thrun and Givani Smith, both on IR, are again on the ice for the #SJSharks morning skate.

Not only did LW Yegor Chinkahov (upper body) and D Ivan Provorov (lower body) travel w #CBJ to California, they're expected to play vs. #SJSharks on Saturday, per Pascal Vincent. F Justin Danforth (ill) and D Erik Gudbranson (undisclosed) did not practice, but likely to play.
Vincent says Danforth is dealing with an illness “bug” situation, while Gudbranson tweaked something at practice today they they don’t think is major. Enough to cause him to leave practice though. Chinakhov, Provorov are good to go. #CBJ
With Yegor Chinakhov apparently set to return to the #CBJ lineup, looks like the Russian line will be back tomorrow night in San Jose.
