Playing career
edit
Studenič played as a youth within hometown team, HK 36 Skalica. He made his professional debut with the club during the 2014–15 season in the Slovak Extraliga.
After two seasons in the Slovak League, Studenič moved to North America to develop his game at the major junior level. He was selected 11th overall in the 2016 OHL Import Draft by the Hamilton Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).[1]
Following a successful rookie campaign with the Bulldogs in the 2016–17 season, recording 18 goals in 58 games, Studenič was selected in the fifth-round, 143rd overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.[2] He was ranked 101 overall for North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.[3]
On 2 April 2018, Studenič signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils.[4] After attending the Devils training camp, Studenič was assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, for the 2018–19 season.[5] Studenič made his AHL debut on 7 October 2018 against the Toronto Marlies where he also scored his first AHL goal.[6]
On 13 August 2020, Studenič was assigned by the Devils to HC Slovan Bratislava of the Slovak Extraliga on loan until the commencement of the delayed 2020–21 North American season.[7] He scored his first NHL goal against the New York Rangers on 18 April 2021.[8]
In the following 2021–22 season, Studenič split the season between New Jersey and new AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, registering just one goal through 17 games with the Devils. On 24 January 2022, Studenič's tenure with the Devils ended as he was claimed off waivers by the Dallas Stars.[9]
On 1 July 2023, having left the Stars as a free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer, Studenič was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Seattle Kraken for the 2023–24 season.[10][11]
On 30 June 2024, Studenič decided to return to Europe by signing a two-year contract with Färjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[12]
