Kirill Marchenko

24-Year-Old Left WingLW
Columbus Blue Jackets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Marchenko registered a career-high 42 points in 78 games during the 2023-24 campaign. The 24-year-old forward improved from 21 goals the previous season to a team-high 23 tallies and went from four assists to 19. He went through some extended scoring slumps while heating up during other stretches. The Blue Jackets were not a high-octane offense in 2023-24, so consistency issues weren't surprising for the second-year winger. Still, he ranked first on the team in goals, second in shots on net (193), third in points, and second in power-play points (13). Marchenko should be able to continue progressing in 2024-25 as a member of Columbus' top six and an integral component of the club's first power-play combination. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $11.55 million contract with Columbus in July of 2024.
Three-point night in win
LWColumbus Blue Jackets
December 23, 2024
Marchenko scored a goal on four shots and dished two assists (one on the power play) in Monday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Marchenko had a hand in the Blue Jackets' final three goals, including the game-winner, a riser that beat Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault glove-side with 2:12 remaining in the third period. The top-line winger extended his point streak to six games, during which he has three goals and seven assists. The 24-year-old, who recorded his 100th point in his 170th NHL game last week, is a blossoming offensive force. Marchenko has 13 goals and 24 assists with a plus-15 rating through 35 outings. He needs just six points to surpass the career-high 42 he posted last season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
A candidate for the NHL version of the "Cy Young Award," Marchenko scored 21 goals and had just four assists in 59 games in his rookie season. Seven of the tallies (and one helper) came with the man advantage. Marchenko also posted an ugly minus-23 rating. He's a difficult player to assess from a fantasy perspective. Marchenko shot 16 percent, suggesting regression is coming, and the Jackets have an interesting combination of highly-paid veterans (Johnny Gaudreau, Patrik Laine) and top prospects (Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson) to potentially steal playing time from Marchenko, but his success last season means the club almost has to give him a significant role to begin the 2023-24 campaign. This one could go either way.
The Blue Jackets were forced to play the long game with Marchenko, selecting him in the second round in 2018 and waiting while he spent four seasons in his native Russia. Columbus finally got him under contract in May. Now 22 years of age, Marchenko would appear to be NHL ready. He's posted 27 goals and 48 points in 80 KHL games over the course of the past two years. There may be an adjustment period, but Columbus needs to get as many young, skilled players in its lineup as possible and Marchenko certainly falls into that category. He's a sneaky keeper/dynasty asset.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Going to arbitration
LWColumbus Blue Jackets
July 5, 2024
Marchenko will head to arbitration, per PuckPedia.
ANALYSIS
Marchenko has pocketed over 20 goals in each of his first two seasons. Last year, he tallied 23 goals and 42 points while averaging 16:25 of ice time through 78 games. The 23-year-old winger is seemingly locked into a top-six role with Columbus during the 2024-25 campaign, though his arbitration hearing could indicate that a long-term deal between the two sides isn't very likely.
