Maroon scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon tied the game at 1-1 with his unassisted first-period tally. The 32-year-old winger had no points in eight games prior to Friday. Through nine contests, Maroon has 17 PIM and 12 hits. He plays a net-front role on the second power-play unit, but he's on the fourth line at even strength, so his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats at best.

Maroon finished with 15 PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
This was Maroon's first big impact on a score sheet this season. PIM aren't always counted in fantasy, but when they are, guys like Maroon are gold. He saw more than three minutes of ice time on the power play as a net-front presence. Points will come at some point because of the talent that surrounds him.

Maroon agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.8 million contract with Tampa Bay on Friday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports
EDGE Analysis
Maroon likely won't be racking up 40 points as he did earlier in his career with Edmonton, but he'll provide solid depth scoring for the Lightning and is capable of pushing for the 30-point threshold. Fantasy players probably don't need to jump on Maroon in the early rounds, though a late-round selection could be warranted, especially in deeper formats.

Maroon produced a power-play assist and three hits in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon got the puck to Victor Hedman, who set up Kevin Shattenkirk for the winning tally in overtime. That assist snapped a five-game point drought for Maroon. He's up to a goal, four helpers, 54 hits and 32 PIM in 23 outings in a limited role.

Maroon scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Islanders in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon won a race to a loose puck in the offensive zone and backhanded it into the empty net to wrap up Tampa Bay's win. It was the first goal of the playoffs for the veteran, putting an end to his 17-game goal funk that began with the regular-season finale. Maroon scored only nine times during the regular season and received just under 11 minutes of playing time Sunday; he's a role player at this stage of his career.

Maroon managed an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 8-2 win over the Islanders in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon generated a scramble in front of the net that led to Yanni Gourde's first of two tallies in the contest. In 14 playoff games, Maroon has mustered three helpers, 12 shots and 37 hits in a fourth-line role. He's seen limited ice time due to the Lightning's frequent seven-defensemen lineups.

Maroon (undisclosed) will play Saturday's round-robin contest against the Flyers, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon sat out Friday's off-day practice but is evidently good to go for the final game of Tampa's round-robin play. The veteran has played under 12 minutes in each of the first two games, chipping in a combined seven hits and an assist.

Maroon was absent from Friday's practice session, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon's absence will likely go unexplained due to the league's current injury protocol. In the first two round-robin clashes, the winger notched one assist, one shot and seven hits in a fourth-line role. Unless he moves up the depth chart, the veteran is unlikely to be a significant factor against the Flyers on Saturday even if he plays.

Coach Jon Cooper expects Maroon (undisclosed) to return to the lineup Saturday against the Flames, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon missed Thursday's loss to the Blackhawks due to a lingering injury, but he's evidently already put that issue behind him. The big-bodied winger is expected to skate on Tampa Bay's fourth line during Saturday's clash with Calgary.

Maroon (undisclosed) won't be available for Thursday's clash with Chicago due to a lingering injury, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maroon's issue doesn't sound overly serious, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Tampa Bay hold him out for a while to ensure he's 100 percent healthy once the playoffs roll around. Another update on the burly winger's status should surface once he's cleared to rejoin the lineup.
