Marchenko has not appeared in a game since being claimed off of waivers from Detroit on February 4th, but he’ll be paired with Jake Gardiner tonight vs. the Rangers. Marchenko had six assists in 30 games with the Red Wings before being waived.
Marchenko was a healthy scratch for the last five games and has recorded just six assists in 30 games this season. With Brendan Smith returning to action on Saturday, the Red Wings had to waive a defenseman and Marchenko was the casualty. Marchenko played under Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock in 2014-15.
Marchenko has missed the last eight games with a shoulder injury and is expected to miss Wednesday’s game in Anaheim, but is expected to play Thursday in Los Angeles. Marchenko has five assists in 22 games this season.
Marchenko will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury, so they moved him to IR, so they could recall Nick Jensen to be an extra defenseman on their three-game road trip. Expect Marchenko to be out until after Christmas.
Marchenko left Sunday’s game after being hit hard by Michael Ferland during the Red Wings’ loss to the Flames. Marchenko will miss at least a few weeks, which means the Red Wings will likely recall a defenseman from Grand Rapids (AHL) and Xavier Ouellet will get back into the lineup on Wednesday.
Marchenko appeared in his first full NHL season in 2015-16, playing 66 games with the Red Wings and only four with Grand Rapids (AHL). He collected 11 points (2G / 9A) along the way, to give him a total of three goals and 10 assists (13 points) in 80 career NHL games. He is expected to be a part of the Red Wings’ blueline again in 2016-17.
Marchenko, 23, started the year on the IR but has since played four games with Grand Rapids, but has failed to record a point. He has been recalled because the Red Wings lost Kyle Quincey (concussion) and Mike Green (upper-body) in Friday’s OT loss to Calgary.
Marchenko, 23, failed to register a point in the first two games of the series. He sat the last four games, but with Niklas Kronwall suspended, Marcheko will get back into the lineup tonight. Overall he has two points (1G / 1A) in 15 games with the Red Wings this season.
Marchenko, 23, has one goal and one assist in 12 games with the Red Wings this season. He has spent a lot of time in Grand Rapids, posting 20 points (3G / 17A) in 51 games this season. He is expected to get into the lineup on Saturday to give someone a rest.
Marchenko is expected to miss at least the next seven days or three games with an oblique strain, which GM Ken Holland doesn’t believe is serious. Marchenko has one goal and one assist in 12 games and the Red Wings have been very impressed with the 23-year-old blue liner. He is expected to be replaced by Marek Zidlicky, who was acquired today.
Marchenko, 23, has registered two goals and 15 assists ( 17 points) in 42 games with Grand Rapids this season. He made his NHL debut last season, but could make his season debut on Saturday afternoon vs. the Islanders.
Marchenko did not record a point in his only game with the Red Wings, he heads back to the AHL where he has 16 points (2G / 14A) in 33 games.
Marchenko was a seventh round pick (205 overall) in 2011. He is in his first season with Grand Rapids after playing for CSKA Moscow of the KHL from 2009-13. In 33 games in the AHL he has two goals and 14 assists with a plus-15 rating. There is no word which, if any defenseman is injured for the Red Wings, we should find out at practice today. If he were to make his NHL debut on Saturday it would be the fifth Red Wings defenseman to do so this season.
