Impact The Devils entered the second period down 1-0, but Marino was able to tie the game just 28 seconds into that frame. It was his third marker and 15th point in 43 outings in 2023-24. Marino had a great hot streak from Oct. 25-Nov. 14 in which he recorded a goal and eight points across nine appearances, but his offensive production has otherwise come sporadically this season.

Impact The 26-year-old blueliner capped the scoring with an empty-net tally, jamming home a close-range shot as the Devils pressed for an insurance goal. Marino has gotten onto the scoresheet with a goal and an assist in the last two games after snapping a 13-game point drought, and while he plays big minutes for New Jersey -- he led the team in ice time Saturday at 25:35 -- he offers little fantasy upside, managing 14 points in 40 games with 49 blocked shots, 29 shots on net and a minus-4 rating.

Impact Marino snapped a nine-game point drought with the primary helper on Ondrej Palat's first-period goal.

The 26-year-old defenseman is up to 11 points, 18 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating. It'll take all of the Devils' blueliners to make up for the absence of Dougie Hamilton (pectoral), and Marino is likely to make his impact felt more in the defensive zone.

The 26-year-old blueliner is up to eight helpers, 18 blocked shots, six shots on net, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through 12 contests in a top-four role.

On ice at right time Marino collected an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Last year, Marino turned in an efficient plus-21 rating to go along with four goals and 14 assists through 64 contests. He's a middling fantasy defenseman, albeit one whose value will certainly increase whenever he's sharing the ice with stud forwards like Hughes.

Impact Marino, who didn't have a point in New Jersey's first two games versus the Hurricanes, assisted on a shorthanded goal by Michael McLeod and set up an even-strength marker by Miles Wood in Sunday's contest.

Despite a strong performance in Game 7, Marino probably shouldn't be expected to suddenly start producing consistently in the offensive end during the second-round series with Carolina.
