First goal with new team Marchenko scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Impact It was his first goal as a Maple Leaf. Marchenko was at the right side of the net on the power play when Darren Raddysh fed him the puck, and he quickly went to his backhand and put it past Linus Ullmark's blocker. The Leafs are yet to win this season, but the trade that brought Marchenko to Toronto already looks like a victory.

Kirill Marchenko | Post Game vs Montreal Canadiens | September 29, 2026 | Toronto Maple Leafs Kirill Marchenko speaks with the media following the Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

SEPTEMBER 30 • NHL.COM

Assist in blue-and-white debut Marchenko picked up an assist in a 3-2 loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday.

Impact Marchenko showed real flash Tuesday despite a whirlwind 24 hours that saw him get traded to Toronto. He played with Auston Matthews and Jack Roslovic, and the trio dominated with 8-1 high-danger chances against the Nick Suzuki line. Yes, the Selke winner from last season. Marchenko showed a lot of creativity Tuesday and was the best player on his line. His career mark of 31 goals and 43 assists (79 games; plus-29) set in 2024-25 will be threatened this season if this level continues.

Ready to rock Marchenko (not injury related) will play against Montreal on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact After being acquired by the Maple Leafs from Columbus on Monday, Marchenko has resolved his work visa issue, and he will make his Toronto debut. Marchenko amassed 27 goals, 67 points and 218 shots on net in 76 regular-season appearances for the Blue Jackets in 2025-26. As a member of the Maple Leafs, Marchenko should occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play against the Canadiens on Tuesday.

In doubt Tuesday Marchenko may not be available versus the Canadiens on Tuesday while awaiting a work visa, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact With the Leafs' kicking off the season with a back-to-back, it's possible Marchenko is forced to miss the first two games of the year while resolving his work visa. Whenever the 26-year-old winger does link up with the Leafs, he should slot into both a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Impact Marchenko didn't plan to sign a long-term deal with Columbus, but he signed a six-year, $72.5 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs on Monday upon being traded, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports. Marchenko handled a prominent role for the Blue Jackets in recent years, most recently recording 27 goals, 40 assists, 61 hits, 40 blocked shots and 32 PIM while averaging 18:57 of ice time across 76 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He could have an opportunity to play on a line alongside Auston Matthews in Toronto while continuing to see time on the power play.

Scores in preseason win Marchenko scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-0 preseason win over the Penguins.

Impact Marchenko remains the Blue Jackets' top-line right winger entering 2026-27, but he has indicated he won't re-sign with the team. He's entering a contract year, so he'll be motivated to play well in an effort to land with a contender. Marchenko should still get top billing on the power play as long as he's with Columbus, and he carries 30-goal, 70-point potential.
