Rotowire
Marchenko tallied a goal and had two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Rotowire
Marchenko scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Marchenko has eight goals and 11 assists over his last 13 outings. He'll have to navigate the middle of the campaign without Sean Monahan (wrist), who was placed on injured reserve Thursday and doesn't yet have a clear timeline to return.
