Marián Studenič (born 28 October 1998) is a professional ice hockey forward from Slovakia, currently playing as a winger for Färjestad BK in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). He was selected 143rd overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Studenič initiated his professional journey with his local team, HK 36 Skalica, making his Slovak Extraliga debut during the 2014–15 season. After two campaigns, he transitioned to North America, joining the Hamilton Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), where he was chosen 11th overall in the 2016 OHL Import Draft.
In his first OHL season (2016–17), Studenič tallied 18 goals over 58 games, which contributed to his fifth-round selection by the New Jersey Devils in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranked him 101st among North American skaters that year.
On 2 April 2018, Studenič inked a three-year entry-level contract with New Jersey. Following training camp, he was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, for the 2018–19 campaign, marking his AHL debut with a goal on 7 October 2018 against the Toronto Marlies.
Amid COVID-19 related delays, Studenič was loaned to HC Slovan Bratislava of the Slovak Extraliga in August 2020. He netted his inaugural NHL goal on 18 April 2021 in a game against the New York Rangers.
Throughout the 2021–22 season, he divided his time between New Jersey and their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, scoring one goal in 17 NHL appearances before being claimed off waivers by the Dallas Stars on 24 January 2022.
Following his stint with Dallas and becoming a free agent without a qualifying offer, Studenič signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Seattle Kraken for the 2023 season. On 30 June 2024, he made a return to Europe by agreeing to a two-year contract with Färjestad BK of the SHL.
International play
Studenič made his debut for the Slovakia men's national ice hockey team on 19 April 2019 during a Euro Hockey Challenge fixture against Austria, scoring his first senior international goal just three minutes into his initial shift.
