Marchenko scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko has scored in consecutive contests since returning from a knee injury. The winger is up to 10 goals and 24 points through 24 outings this season as he continues to impress in a top-line role. He's added 73 shots on net, 20 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating while averaging a career-high 19:03 of ice time.

Marchenko scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko missed four games due to a knee injury, and he had gone eight contests before that without a goal. The 25-year-old is back in a top-line role, and he appears to have no limitations after logging 19:43 of ice time Thursday. The winger is at nine tallies, 23 points, 69 shots on net, 19 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 23 contests, and he should continue to be one of the Blue Jackets' top forwards.

Marchenko (knee) will be in the lineup versus Detroit on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko will return to action after a four-game stint on the sidelines due to his knee problem. While the Russian winger was mired in an eight-game goal drought prior to getting hurt, he did generate six helpers and 14 shots over that stretch. A clash with a Red Wings squad that is giving up 3.41 goals per game could be what Marchenko needs to get back into the goal column.

Marchenko's (knee) status for Thursday's matchup versus Detroit will be determined closer to puck drop, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko looks poised to return following a four-game stint on the shelf due to his knee injury, though he hasn't officially been given the all-clear. Prior to his absence, the winger was struggling to find the back of the net, going goalless in his last eight outings -- though he did chip in six helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage.

Marchenko (upper body) has been skating on his own, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko is expected to be on the ice for another solo skate Sunday, but it's unclear when he will resume practices. Although the 25-year-old is slated to miss his fourth straight game against New Jersey on Monday, he might be on track to return for Thursday's clash against Detroit. Marchenko has eight goals and 22 points in 22 appearances this season. Luca Pinelli might lose his spot on the top six once Marchenko is healthy.

Marchenko (upper body) will remain sidelined for Friday's home game against Pittsburgh, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko will miss his third straight game as a result of a muscle tightening up on him during Monday's morning skate. Kent Johnson lined up on the right side of Columbus' top line versus Toronto on Wednesday because of Marchenko's absence. The 25-year-old Marchenko's next chance to suit up will be in New Jersey on Monday.

Marchenko (upper body) will miss out against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko will miss his second consecutive game. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old winger was mired in an eight-game goal drought while also going pointless in his last three outings. Despite the slumps, Marchensko should still be capable of reaching the 30-goal mark for the second straight year, assuming his injury doesn't turn into a long-term problem.

Marchenko (upper body) won't play against Washington on Monday after a muscle tightened up on him during the morning skate, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jackets don't anticipate it being a long-term injury for Marchenko, but he will be evaluated further after the team returns to Columbus on Tuesday. The 25-year-old forward has amassed eight goals, 22 points, 65 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 19 hits in 22 appearances this season. Due to Marchenko's absence, Yegor Chinakhov will move up to the top six, and Zach Aston-Reese will likely occupy a fourth-line role.

Marchenko (undisclosed) left the morning skate with an apparent injury, and it's unclear if he will play against Washington on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko is undergoing an evaluation, and his availability may not be known until after pregame warmups. He has compiled eight goals, 22 points, 65 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 19 hits in 22 appearances this season. If Marchenko is unavailable to play against the Capitals, Zach Aston-Reese will likely return to the lineup, while Yegor Chinakhov will probably occupy a top-six role.

Marchenko notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Marchenko set up Adam Fantilli and Dmitri Voronkov for tallies in the second period. While Marchenko hasn't scored in five games, he's kept his point streak going to 12 contests (three goals, 12 assists). The 25-year-old winger's playmaking this year is a continuation of his gains in that area from 2024-25, when he had a breakout year of 31 goals and 43 assists in 79 outings. This season, he's up to eight goals, 22 points, 60 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 19 contests.
