Playing career
Having been drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round, 46th overall, at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, on 25 April 2011, the Oilers signed Marinčin to a three-year, entry-level contract. During the 2013–14 season, Marinčin was called up to the Oilers, and on 5 December 2013, he made his NHL debut in a game against the Colorado Avalanche.
On 27 June 2015, Marinčin was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Brad Ross and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
On 5 October 2017, Marinčin was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs. After clearing waivers the next day, he was loaned to the Maple Leafs' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies. On December 17, 2017, he was recalled to the Toronto Maple Leafs after Nikita Zaitsev was placed on the injured reserve with a lower body injury. Marinčin appeared in two games with the Leafs before being sent down to the Marlies on January 5, 2018.
On 29 June 2019, Marinčin agreed to a one-year $700,000 contract extension to remain with the Maple Leafs.
On 10 January 2020, Marinčin agreed to another one-year $700,000 contract extension to remain with the Maple Leafs.
International play
Marinčin was chosen to play for Slovakia at the 2011 World Junior Championships. During a game against the United States, he was ejected for a hit to the head on forward Jason Zucker. This ejection carried an automatic one-game suspension, and after a review of the play, Marinčin was suspended for an additional three games.
Marinčin was named to the Slovak senior team to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
