Olivier played just 4:49 before exiting the game with injury and also did not skate on Tuesday.
Marchenko missed Monday’s game after getting hurt during the team’s morning skate that same day and will miss his second straight game.

Smith signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Blue Jackets on Monday and joined the team yesterday. He started the season in the AHL with Cleveland, recording one assist in 11 games.
Greaves has appeared in 14 games for Columbus, going 7-4-3 with a .904 save percentage and 2.80 GAA.
