Overview
- The team announced the IR designation and Pyyhtia’s call-up on Wednesday via CBJ Public Relations.
- Marchment’s injury was listed as upper-body from the Jan. 4 game against Pittsburgh, and the IR move is retroactive to that date.
- Head coach Dean Evason had previously said Marchment re-aggravated a lower-body issue during the morning skate that kept him out against San Jose, creating a discrepancy with the team’s later description.
- Since being acquired in late December for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, Marchment recorded five goals and two assists in seven games with Columbus.
- Mikael Pyyhtia leads AHL Cleveland with 22 points in 23 games this season and has appeared in 66 NHL games with the Blue Jackets.
