John Marino

John Marino recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Friday’s 3-2 overtime loss to Columbus.

Fantasy Impact

Marino has now registered a helper in four straight contests, providing an unexpected offensive boost while maintaining his role as a key defensive presence on the top pairing. He’s up to five assists, 11 shots on net, and 10 blocked shots through nine appearances. While not a primary fantasy target, his recent production makes him a viable depth option in deeper formats, particularly those rewarding blocked shots.

John Marino recorded an assist in Wednesday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins, giving him three helpers over his last five games.

Fantasy Impact

Marino played a key role in stabilizing Utah’s blue line during Mikhail Sergachev’s recent absence and now appears set to skate alongside him as part of the team's top defensive pairing. While his offensive numbers remain modest—four assists, eight shots, and nine blocked shots through eight appearances—Marino's fantasy value is tied more to his ability to contribute in defensive categories. He’s worth a look in deeper leagues that reward blocked shots and plus-minus but isn't a primary target for offensive production.

John Marino registered an assist and two hits in the Coyotes' 5-2 loss to the Jets on Friday, his second helper in six games since returning from lower-back surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Marino logged 22:56 of ice time, his second-highest total since rejoining the lineup, as he continues to establish himself in a top-four role. While his offensive production has been modest, with two assists and six shots over six games, Marino contributes defensively with eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating during that stretch. He remains a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues for managers looking for steady minutes and peripheral stats.

Marino scored the first goal in his first game since Feb. 6. The Pens defeated Ottawa 7-3 on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie defenseman has 26 points in 52 games (+15) and is definitely worth a look in fantasy.

Marino was struck in the face by a puck and suffered broken bones which required surgery on Feb 10.

Marino has not played since Feb. 6 so there is basically no fantasy impact at this point.
