After four seasons in the KHL with perennial contending club, SKA Saint Petersburg, Marchenko at the conclusion of the 2021–22 season, opted to pursue a North American career in agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Columbus Blue Jackets, on 2 May 2022.[4]
National Hockey League
editAfter participating in the Blue Jackets training camp, Marchenko was re-assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters.[5] Through his first 16 games in the AHL, Marchenko accumulated eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points. He was recalled to the NHL level for the first time on 5 December 2022 for their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.[6] He made his NHL debut the following night, where he played 12 shifts through 10:03 minutes of ice time.[7] After making his NHL debut, he went scoreless through his next three games before scoring his first NHL goal against the Los Angeles Kings on 11 December.[8] On 7 January 2023, Marchenko recorded his first NHL hat-trick in a Columbus win against the Carolina Hurricanes. He became the first rookie of the 2022–23 season to score a hat-trick and the sixth in franchise history.[9] Although he would experience a six-game scoring drought in mid-January, he scored 13 goals through his first 29 games. On 11 February 2023, Marchenko recorded his first NHL assist in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He subsequently became the third player in NHL history to have his first 13 career points be only goals.[7] After scoring the game-winning goal in overtime on 2 April 2023, Marchenko became the franchise leader in goals by a rookie with 21.[10][11]
On 19 December 2023, Marchenko recorded a natural hat trick against the Buffalo Sabres.[12]
