The Utah Hockey Club will have to play without Sean Durzi and John Marino for the foreseeable future.
The injury bug is starting to hit the Utah Hockey Club.
The team announced on Wednesday that Sean Durzi will be out for 5-6 months with an injured right shoulder while John Marino will be put for 3-4 months with a lower back injury.
Both Durzi and Marino underwent successful surgeries on their respective injuries.
Durzi just signed a four-year, $24 million contract extension this past offseason as he was traded from the Los Angeles Kings to the then Arizona Coyotes in the summer of 2023.
Last season, the 26-year-old recorded nine goals, 32 assists and 41 points in 76 games.
Marino was traded from the New Jersey Devils to Utah in exchange for two second-round picks with the Hockey Club also receiving a fifth-rounder.
The 27-year-old is coming off of a season where he tallied four goals, 21 assists and 25 points in 75 games.
