Maroon (undisclosed) will make his preseason debut Saturday against Nashville, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon was supposed to make his debut Wednesday against Carolina, but ended up "tweaking" something during warmups and sitting out the contest as a precaution. The big-bodied winger, who notched 10 goals and 28 points in 74 games with St. Louis last campaign, is expected to take on a bottom-six role for the Lightning in 2019-20.

Maroon was absent from Wednesday's preseason lineup after tweaking something during pregame warmups, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports. His issue is not considered serious.

EDGE Analysis

With a pair of weeks remaining before regular-season play opens, it sounds as though Maroon should be ready by the time Opening Night rolls around. Still, it's worth monitoring his status until he's officially back in action.

Maroon signed a one-year, $900,000 deal with the Lightning on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon took a discounted one-year deal to sign with his hometown Blues last season, and he'll join another contender this season fresh off the Stanley Cup victory. The 31-year-old had 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 74 games last season while laying out 135 hits.

Maroon is still an unrestricted free agent as of Aug. 11.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon accepted a hefty discount in order to play for his hometown team last season, signing a one-year contract worth $1.75 million with the Blues. Although the season started out bumpy, Maroon was a solid contributor with 28 points in 74 games, and his legacy was cemented with a Game 7, double-overtime goal against the Stars in the second round of playoffs. The Blues have spent their offseason signing younger talents such as Jordan Binnington, Oskar Sundqvist and Joel Edmundson, so the cap space is dried up. It appears Maroon will have to leave St. Louis for his next contract unless he's willing to take another enormous discount.

Maroon dished a power-play assist and two hits in Friday's 2-1 win over the Sharks in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon has been strong since Game 7 of the second round, with a goal and three helpers in his last five games. During that span, he's added 13 hits and a plus-2 rating. Two of his assists have come on the man advantage, as the third-line winger has found ways to contribute valuable depth scoring.

Maroon registered a power-play assist and six hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon is up to six points in 16 playoff contests, adding 39 hits and 23 shots on goal. Entering Wednesday's game, he only average 13:00 per game while skating on the third line, but he has seen 1:21 per game on the man advantage as well.

Maroon posted an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon hasn't torn up the scoresheet with five points in 14 postseason games, but he's also racked up 32 hits. Maroon may have more confidence after scoring the series-clinching goal against the Stars in the second round. Going up against a more generous Sharks defense that has allowed 3.07 goals per game could also help the 31-year-old winger round out his stat line.

Maroon scored the game-winning goal during Tuesday's 2-1 double-overtime victory over the Stars in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

It was hardly the prettiest goal -- Maroon tapped home the puck after it fell into the crease off Ben Bishop's back -- but it counts just the same. The St. Louis native has only three goals and four points through 13 playoff games, but two of the tallies have been game-winners.

Maroon scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon has a goal and an assist through the first two games of the series. He ended the regular season with 28 points and 135 hits over 74 appearances, and that physical edge could make him a viable option in some DFS formats throughout the Blues' postseason run.

Maroon registered an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Maroon dished a pass to Robert Thomas, who did the rest of the work. As Maroon screened goalie Cory Schneider, Thomas maneuvered through opponents and sent a backhand shot into the back of the net. Maroon definitely struggled to begin the season with the Blues, but he's found home on the third line with Thomas and Tyler Bozak, registering 10 points in the last 15 games.
