  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Undergoes surgery

    Marino has undergone successful lower-back surgery and is projected to miss the next 3-4 months, Utah announced Wednesday.

    Marino hasn't played in 2024-25 because of the injury. He had four goals and 25 points across 75 appearances with New Jersey in 2023-24. Marino is expected to serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy, though it's possible he'll be eased into the lineup after missing so much time.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Months away from season debut

    Marino (upper body) is months away from playing, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports Friday.

    Marino had four goals, 25 points and 41 PIM in 75 appearances with New Jersey in 2023-24, but he hasn't been able to play yet this season due to the injury. He's on injured reserve, though Marino probably won't get moved to long-term injured reserve only because Utah already has plenty of cap flexibility, so putting him on LTIR might not provide the franchise with a benefit at this time. When Marino is healthy enough to play, he will probably serve in a top-four role.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Out weeks

    Marino (upper body) remains in Utah on Thursday to be examined while his teammates begin a four-game road trip with a contest against the Islanders on Thursday. He's expected to miss "weeks," Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

    Marino was put on injured reserve Monday and missed Utah's season-opening 5-2 victory over Chicago on Tuesday. He had four goals and 25 points in 75 contests with the Devils in 2023-24. Marino will probably serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Goes on IR

    Marino (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per The Hockey News.

    Marino was already ruled out for Opening Night, and it seems likely he'll miss additional time beyond that. Once the 27-year-old is cleared to play, he'll likely take on a top-four role on the blue line.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Will miss Opening Night

    Marino (upper body) will not be in the lineup against the Blackhawks on Oct. 8, Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network reports.

    Marino managed 25 points in 75 games last season despite not having a power-play role with the club. Utah has yet to provide a more concrete timeline for the 27-year-old blueliner to return to action, so fantasy players will likely have to wait for more information to become available. In the meantime, Michael Kesselring could be a candidate for the Opening Night roster.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Unavailable Friday

    Marino (upper body) will miss Friday's preseason contest against Vegas, according to Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.

    Marino had four goals and 25 points in 75 regular-season games with New Jersey in 2023-24. Provided he's healthy, the 27-year-old defenseman will likely open the campaign in a top-four capacity, but he probably won't see use on the power play.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Upgraded to day-to-day

    Marino (upper body) is now considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup with Vegas, Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network reports.

    Marino is far from a lock to suit up in Friday's tilt. In fact, the team could hold him out of another preseason game or two just to ensure he is back to 100 percent. Regardless of when he suits up, the blueliner should be back in time for Opening Night against Chicago on Oct. 8. Considering Marino has never topped the 30-point threshold, there is little reason for fantasy players to expect anything more than that out of him this season.

  • Hockey Club's John Marino: Unavailable for start of camp

    Marino is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury and will not be on the ice Thursday for the start of training camp, according to Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network.

    Marino was acquired by Utah from New Jersey for a second-round pick in each of the 2024 and 2025 drafts. He is expected to play on the second defensive pairing once healthy. He had four goals, 21 assists, 39 hits and 89 blocked shots in 75 regular-season games with the Devils in 2023-24.

  • John Marino: Traded to Utah

    Marino and the No. 153 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft were acquired by Utah on Saturday from New Jersey in exchange for the No. 49 overall selection in 2024 and a 2025 second-round choice.

    Marino produced four goals, 25 points and 89 blocked shots in 75 games during the 2023-4 campaign. He is coming off a down season, but has had previous success while seeing tough minutes. Marino could be a bounce-back candidate in Utah.

  • Devils' John Marino: Returning Tuesday

    Marino (upper body) will be back in action Tuesday against Toronto, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

    Marino has played 71 games for the Devils this season, recording four goals and 21 assists to go along with 55 shots. He will likely slot into the first or second defensive pairing versus the Maple Leafs. The 26-year-old needs just two more points to pass the career-high 26 he set with the Penguins in his first NHL season in 2019-20.

  • Devils' John Marino: Won't play Sunday

    Marino (upper body) won't be in the lineup Sunday against Nashville, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

    Marino will miss his second straight contest. He has provided four goals, 25 points, 55 shots on net and 83 blocked shots in 71 appearances this campaign. Nick DeSimone will remain in the lineup versus the Predators because of Marino's absence.

  • Devils' John Marino: Not available Saturday

    Marino (undisclosed) will be missing from the lineup Saturday in Ottawa, according to Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

    Marino is considered questionable for Sunday's tilt versus Nashville. He was injured during Wednesday's brawl against the Rangers after being tossed out of the game with a major and a misconduct penalty just two seconds into the opening period. Marino has four goals and 21 assists in 71 games this season. Look for Nick DeSimone to replace him in the lineup.

  • Devils' John Marino: In doubt Saturday

    Marino is questionable to play against Ottawa on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Marino's absence comes after he was ejected against the Rangers on Wednesday following a full-line brawl at puck drop. The blueliner is currently stuck in a 23-game goal drought during which he's recorded a mere 14 shots. If Marino doesn't play Saturday, it would likely lead to Nick DeSimone, who was a healthy scratch for the previous two contests, entering the lineup.

  • Devils' John Marino: Ready to rock

    Marino (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Ottawa.

    Marino will play alongside Kevin Bahl on the top pairing following a two-game absence. The 26-year-old Marino has registered four goals, 23 points, 55 shots on net and 79 blocked shots across 65 contests this campaign. He will replace Santeri Hatakka in Saturday's lineup.
