Kirill Marchenko couldn't quite believe the stat when he was told – mostly because it was untrue. At the Blue Jackets' exit day interviews, a reporter pointed out Marchenko had a stretch this season in which he scored just two times in 28 games. It wasn't quite that bad – Marchenko's worst goal-scoring stretch of the season featured two tallies in 19 games from late December to mid-February – but Marchenko was dissatisfied enough with his season to take it at face value. It wasn't a bad season by any stretch – Marchenko went from 21 goals and 25 points as a rookie to 23 tallies and 42 points – but the Russian wing was still not exactly pleased with his performance.
