Marchment scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment missed 17 games due to a facial injury after undergoing surgery following his exit from a Dec. 27 game versus the Wild. The winger immediately slotted back in on the second line alongside Matt Duchene and Mavrik Bourque, though he saw a modest 13:11 of ice time. Marchment is up to 13 goals, 28 points, 82 shots on net, 45 hits, 35 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 34 appearances. His best stretches have come with Duchene and Tyler Seguin (hip), but Seguin won't be back until April at the earliest, so there could be some different players who audition to play right wing opposite Marchment over the bulk of the rest of the regular season.

Marchment (face) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas loaned Kyle McDonald and Christian Kyrou to AHL Texas in corresponding moves. Marchment appears ready to return from a 17-game absence in Sunday's matchup versus Columbus. He has collected 12 goals, 27 points, 44 hits, 35 PIM and 80 shots on net across 33 appearances this season.

Marchment (face) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Dec. 31 on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment can return from the IR list whenever he's ready and could be back before the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 29-year-old has 12 goals and 15 assists in 33 games this season but hasn't earned a point in his last seven appearances.

Marchment (face) is nearing a return to action and hopes to play before the 4 Nations Face-Off, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment has been on the shelf since Dec. 27 against the Wild, a stretch of 16 games on the sidelines due to his facial injury. At this point, the 29-year-old winger has five games left to get into the lineup before the international break. Prior to his injury, Marchment was struggling to produce offensively with zero points over his last seven outings while generating 17 shots, three hits and two blocks.

Marchment (face) participated in Tuesday's morning skate but isn't close to being ready to return to the lineup, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment could return right before or just after the 4 Nations Face-Off. He will miss his 13th straight game against Carolina on Tuesday. The 29-year-old forward has produced 12 goals, 27 points, 44 hits and 80 shots on net across 33 appearances this season. Once healthy, Marchment will be in the mix for a middle-six role in the lineup.

Head coach Pete DeBoer said Sunday that Marchment (face) has resumed skating, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment will likely be out of game action until around the end of January after sustaining a facial injury in late December, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. The 29-year-old will presumably need to ramp up his activity level in the coming days before he's in the mix to suit up for the Stars.

Marchment (face) had surgery to address fractures in his nose and face and is likely out until late January, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment was injured Dec. 27 and is expected to miss roughly four weeks during his recovery. The Stars have found a new line with chemistry, as Matt Duchene has played well alongside Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston to help cover Marchment's absence. He'll likely resume practicing in a couple of weeks to ramp up ahead of his return.

Marchment (upper body) underwent surgery and is still week-to-week, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marchment will miss his fifth straight game against the Rangers on Tuesday. He isn't with the Stars on the road, meaning he will probably miss the next four contests, too. Marchment has generated 12 goals, 27 points, 44 hits and 80 shots on net across 33 appearances this season. Evgenii Dadonov has been serving as a top-six forward during Marchment's absence.

Marchment (upper body) is considered week-to-week after he was struck in the face by a puck Friday against the Wild, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Heika, doctors are waiting for swelling to subside before making an official diagnosis, though it sounds like Marchment will miss time. Justin Hryckowian was recalled from AHL Texas on Saturday and will likely assume a bottom-six role in Marchment's absence.

Marchment was hospitalized after taking a puck to the face in Friday's loss to Minnesota, though he's "okay in a broader sense," according to coach Pete DeBoer, per Robert Tiffin of StarsThoughts.com.

EDGE Analysis

It's certainly encouraging to hear that Marchment is doing well after a scary moment Friday, though it's still unclear when the winger will be able to return to the ice. Marchment has 12 goals and 27 points in 33 games this season.
