Restricted free-agent forward Kirill Marchenko signed a three-year, $11.55 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.
The deal spans through the 2026-27 season.
Marchenko, 24, recorded 42 points (23 goals, 19 assists) over 78 games last season while playing on the final season of his two-year entry level deal.
“Kirill Marchenko has been an important player for the Blue Jackets during his first two NHL seasons and reaching an agreement to keep him in Columbus was important to us,” Columbus general manager Don Waddell said. “He has size, skill and the ability to score goals and will continue to be a big part of our core group moving forward.”
Marchenko has 67 points (44 goals, 23 assists) in 137 career games since being selected by the Blue Jackets in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft.
