John Marino Stats

New Jersey Devils defenseman John Marino (upper body) is considered week-to-week, head coach Lindy Ruff announced on Friday. He is set to miss a second consecutive game Friday against Boston and it could take a while until Marino is ready to play again. It's an awful blow for the team, with Marino having been a big force all over the ice this season and the backline also without Ryan Graves (lower body) on Friday. Marino has logged nine points for the campaign with 42 shots, 31 hits and 43 blocks in 32 games. Injuries to Marino and Graves have pushed Brendan Smith and Damon Severson up in the lineup.

New Jersey Devils defenseman John Marino will miss Wednesday's matchup against the Panthers with an upper-body injury. He was hurt Tuesday versus Carolina, logging just 11:38 of ice time. The 25-year-old averages over 21 minutes of action for the season, so a pretty big piece will be missing from the Devils blue line Wednesday. Marino has tallied nine points in 32 games with 42 shots, 31 hits and 43 blocks. Kevin Bahl is expected to replace him in the lineup, while Damon Severson will have an opportunity to log more minutes than usual.

New Jersey Devils defenseman John Marino missed Wednesday's practice with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day. The team returns to action Thursday against Nashville and Marino could miss his first game of the season. The former Penguin is having a nice debut campaign in Newark, boasting eight points, 28 shots, 25 hits and 29 blocks with a plus-15 rating through 23 games. He has mostly skated with Ryan Graves on the second defensive pairing, averaging a team-high 21:47 minutes. There's going to be plenty of extra work available for the rest of the blue line if Marino has to spend some time on the sidelines.

The New Jersey Devils have acquired defenseman John Marino from the Penguins in exchange for defenseman Ty Smith and a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Marino has five seasons remaining on a six-year, $26.4 million contract, while the 25-year-old appeared in 81 regular season games and finished with a career-high 24 assists. Smith, who was drafted 17th overall in 2018, spent the previous two seasons with the Devils and had a solid rookie season. Marino carries more value in re-draft fantasy formats as he is established at the NHL level and the 25-year-old will help the Devils compete after a busy offseason with notable additions to the team.
