Yegor Chinakhov may rejoin Blue Jackets' second line Tuesday after missing 39 games with a frustrating back injury.

The Detroit Red Wings took control of the puck early, but a late goal from Columbus lifted the Blue Jackets to a 5-3 win on Saturday in the Stadium Series, leapfrogging the Red Wings to take sole possession of the first Eastern Conference wild-card spot.

With a game-time temperature of 29.4 degrees and gusts up to 18 mph, Columbus took time to warm up before scoring three second-period goals.
