Report: John Marino has broken cheekbone, surgery required
Photo by Scott Audette /NHLI via Getty ImagesJohn Marino took a puck to the face last night when Steven Stamkos took a shot that was partially deflected by a Penguins player straight into Marino’s face.
It looked scary, but some good news was injected immediately after the game when coach Mike Sullivan offered a fairly hopeful immediate update.
Coach Sullivan on the status of John Marino: “We think he’s going to be okay. He’s being evaluated right now. He got hit in the cheek.”
