Marchenko, who has five 3-point games this season, scored only 30 seconds into the game, the earliest in a game the Blue Jackets have scored this season. He led the Blue Jackets with nine shot attempts and had another strong scoring chance in the third that he couldn’t bury.

Kirill Marchenko scored twice and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Dallas Stars 6-4 for their second straight win to keep them in the hunt for an Eastern Conference wild-card spot.
