Acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets on the eve of the regular season in a blockbuster deal that saw fellow winger Matthew Knies as the biggest piece going the other way, Marchenko subsequently signed a six-year, US$75-million contract extension with Toronto.

The Maple Leafs are already minus centre John Tavares, who’s out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. General manager John Chayka told reporters in Calgary earlier this week the 36-year-old has resumed skating in Toronto after getting hurt Oct 15.

Chayka added shutdown defenceman Chris Tanev is “progressing nicely” and should return to practice soon from an upper-body issue that’s kept the 36-year-old out week-to-week since Oct. 10.

Toronto had a 7-5-2 record and occupied the Eastern Conference’s first wild-card spot heading into Wednesday’s action.
