Analysis:
General manager Ken Holland expressed a desire to give Marchenko a trial run at the NHL level after he supplied 17 points in 42 games for the AHL squad. Marchenko's stay with the Red Wings isn't expected to be a long-term one, as the team appears committed to swapping Xavier Ouellet back into the lineup at some point next week.
