The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Columbus Blue Jackets forward Yegor Chinakhov on Monday, hoping the 24-year-old can fulfill his potential with a change in scenery.

The Penguins sent forward Danton Heinen, a 2026 second-round draft pick that originally belonged to St. Louis and a 2027 third-round pick that originally belonged to Washington to the Blue Jackets for Chinakhov. Heinen, 30, is a 10-year NHL veteran who cleared waivers earlier Monday.
