Kirill Marchenko Suffers Broken Jaw, Expected To Miss At Least Six Weeks
59 seconds agoAccording to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Kirill Marchenko (jaw) sustained a broken jaw during their loss to the Dallas Stars on Sunday evening. Marchenko was hit by a puck in the second frame and was taken to a Dallas hospital. Before exiting, he tallied one assist and two shots on goal. Fantasy managers should expect the breakout winger to be sidelined for the next 6-to-8 weeks. Over his previous 14 games, Marchenko has found the back of the net five times and added eight helpers. Overall, the 24-year-old has scored 21 goals and tallied 34 helpers (55 points) across 53 games, which is already a career-high total. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Kent Johnson to move up to the top line to the top line to play alongside Dimitri Voronkov and Adam Fantilli.
