Lightning ink Maroon to 2-year extension

The Tampa Bay Lightning extended forward Pat Maroon's contract for two years on Tuesday.

Maroon's new deal will have an average annual value of $1 million, a slight raise from his $900,000 cap hit in 2021-22. He was a pending unrestricted free agent who signed a two-year contract with the Lightning in October 2020.

The 33-year-old has been a part of three consecutive Stanley Cup teams, winning the last two titles with the Lightning after helping the St. Louis Blues prevail in 2019.

Maroon typically plays a third-line role for Tampa Bay. He's collected seven goals and six assists in 45 games this season.

The veteran winger has produced 108 goals and 152 assists over 613 career contests while amassing 711 penalty minutes.
