Marchenko Battles Illness, May Miss Tuesday's Game vs. Devils

Kirill Marchenko (Columbus Blue Jackets) did not practice Monday due to an illness and is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Jersey, according to Jeff Svoboda. His potential absence could elevate Kent Johnson to the first line and top power-play unit. The 25-year-old winger is currently on a four-game point streak, having recorded one goal on nine shots and four assists during that span. This illness could interrupt his recent offensive momentum.
