Sheds non-contact jersey Marino (back) participated in Monday's practice session in a regular jersey, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Impact Marino has been sidelined since the start of the regular season due to a lower-back injury that required surgery in late October. However, his participation in Monday's practice in a regular jersey is certainly an encouraging sign. The 27-year-old will likely need some time to ramp up given his lengthy absence, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Assists in consecutive contests Cole logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and five blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Cole has a helper in back-to-back contests and four assists over his last six games. The 35-year-old defenseman may be worth considering in deeper fantasy formats due to his non-scoring production, but the offense is likely to fade eventually. For the season, he's at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 47 hits, 110 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 39 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Picks up helper Saturday Kerfoot notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Kerfoot has three points over his last four games. The 30-year-old has picked up the pace a bit on offense but remains in a fourth-line role, so he may not be able to sustain his recent play over a longer stretch. For the season, he's collected 15 points, 53 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 39 appearances.

Collects assist in overtime loss Bjugstad notched an assist, five shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Bjugstad has two helpers over two games in January after being limited to a single assist in December. The 32-year-old center's lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot in the lineup, but he has been limited to the third line and second power-play unit. He has a modest 10 points with 53 shots on net, 47 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 31 appearances this season.

Supplies helper Saturday Crouse notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Crouse has three points over two games in January, already matching his total from all of November and December combined. The winger remains in a third-line role, but if Utah starts getting more offense from its depth, Crouse will likely have significant involvement. He's had a poor first half of the campaign with six goals, four assists, 57 shots on net, 69 hits and a minus-4 rating through 39 appearances.

Scores both goals in overtime loss Maccelli scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Maccelli is rarely a shoot-first player, but this was his fifth game in a row with multiple shots on net. The 24-year-old also broke a couple of significant droughts -- these goals were his first since Nov. 7 and he hadn't logged a point in his previous 12 outings. Maccelli sat out Thursday versus the Flames due to an illness, making his return to the lineup all the more surprising. The winger has five goals, seven assists, 53 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 38 appearances in a bottom-six role, so it's too soon to tell if this is just a flash in the pan or a sign of a strong second half incoming.

Sent back to minors Connauton was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Utah claimed Nick DeSimone off waivers from New Jersey in a corresponding move. Connauton was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Dallas. He has five goals and nine points in 24 AHL appearances this season.

Falls in overtime Vejmelka stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Vejmelka has allowed 15 goals over his last five games, but he's arguably been a little unlucky to go 1-3-1 in that span. It's not as sharp as he's been throughout the campaign overall, but it's not a deep slump he's in either. Vejmelka is 9-10-3 with a 2.45 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 24 appearances. Connor Ingram (upper body) has been on a conditioning loan with AHL Tucson for nearly a week, so Vejmelka's run as Utah's unquestioned No. 1 may be close to ending. He should still see ample playing time in a timeshare once Ingram is activated.

Claimed by Utah DeSimone was claimed off waivers by Utah on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact DeSimone was waived by the Devils on Friday after posting a goal, two points and a plus-7 rating over 11 games. The 30-year-old DeSimone should slot into a regular role on Utah's blueline.

Put on injured reserve Bortuzzo (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday and is regarded as week-to-week.

Impact Bortuzzo missed nine straight games before returning from a lower-body injury Thursday. He had no points, one shot and one block in 8:25 of ice time in the 5-3 win over Calgary. It's not clear if he's dealing with a new problem or reaggravated his original injury.

Nabs helper Thursday Cole notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Cole has earned three helpers over his last five contests, and he's added 11 blocked shots in that span. The 35-year-old defenseman continues to absorb heavy minutes in a top-four shutdown role. He's at 11 points -- matching his total from 78 regular-season outings with the Canucks last year -- and has added 40 shots on net, 41 PIM, 44 hits, 105 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances in 2024-25. If Cole maintains his current pace, he could earn his first 20-point campaign since 2019-20.
