Russian player Kirill Marchenko’s goal helped Columbus defeat Edmonton in overtime
The Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Edmonton Oilers in the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season game. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
The meeting was held in Edmonton. Guests won with a score of 3:2. Eight minutes before the end of the third period, Columbus were trailing 1-2, but a puck scored by Russian striker Kirill Marchenko helped push the game into overtime. This goal was his 11th in 25 matches of the 2022/2023 season. In the 63rd minute, forward Kent Johnson brought the team victory.
January 19 Marchenko called the difference between American and Russian hockey. “In Russia they like positional attacks, to gain a foothold in their zone and play, but in America everyone runs back and forth and throws,” said the 22-year-old hockey player.
Marchenko joined the Columbus squad in May 2022. The striker is also known for playing for SKA in the Continental Hockey League.
