Marino logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Marino has three helpers over his last two games and a total of eight assists across 14 outings in November. The 28-year-old defenseman is capable of chipping in some supporting offense, though he'll never post big scoring numbers. On the year, he's at a total of 13 points in 25 games, one point away from matching his output from 35 contests a year ago. Marino has added 26 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 25 appearances this season.

Marino notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Marino ended a four-game point drought with the helper. He hasn't been explosive on offense, but with six assists over 13 appearances in November, Marino has been steady in a top-four role. For the season, the blueliner has 11 points, 25 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 24 appearances. At this pace, Marino has a decent chance of matching his career-high 26 points from 56 games in the 2019-20 campaign.

Marino scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
After helping to set up first-period tallies by Logan Cooley and Nick Schmaltz, Marino potted his first goal of the season into an empty net to cap the victory. The 28-year-old Marino hasn't produced more than 26 points in a season, and he had just two assists in the first eight appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. However, Utah's surging offense is capable of putting anyone in the spotlight for a game or two.

Marino notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Marino has a helper, two shots on goal, two PIM, one hit and one blocked shot over three games to begin 2025-26. He's averaging 17:49 of ice time, down from 21:10 per game last year, which suggests the Mammoth are trying to more evenly distribute minutes on the blue line. Marino is not a factor on the power play, so don't expect lofty scoring numbers from him this season.

Marino (upper body) skated with Group A in Thursday's on-ice practice session.
EDGE Analysis
Marino missed five games at the end of the 2024-25 regular season due to the upper-body injury, but it is no longer an issue. The Mammoth divided their practice groups roughly along NHL/AHL lines, so Marino looks to be a full go heading into 2025-26. The 28-year-old blueliner should be in the mix for top-four minutes as a shutdown defenseman this season.

Marino (upper body) didn't accompany Utah on the team's season-ending three-game road trip, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Marino could miss the remainder of the regular season if he doesn't join the team on the road. He will sit out his third straight game versus Dallas on Saturday after taking a puck to the face in last Saturday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. Marino may conclude the 2024-25 campaign with one goal, 13 assists, 29 shots on net and 46 blocked shots in 35 appearances.
