Kirill Marchenko Cleared for Saturday's Action
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Kirill Marchenko (undisclosed) will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Washington Capitals, The Athletic's Aaron Portzline reports. He sat out the previous preseason contest against the same opponent due to a minor injury. Marchenko will play on the top line with fellow Russians Dmitri Voronkov and Yegor Chinakhov. Last season, Marchenko made a significant leap, nearly averaging a point per game, and finished as Columbus' top-scoring forward. He recorded 31 goals and 74 points in 79 games. The Blue Jackets hadn't had a 30-goal scorer since 2018-19 until Marchenko and Adam Fantilli both found the back of the net 31 times last season.
