Rotowire

Wild's Patrick Maroon: Out 4-6 weeks
Rotowire
Maroon underwent back surgery Tuesday and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks.
Maroon's injury is a big blow to the Wild's scoring depth right before the trade deadline. The 35-year-old winger has 16 points, 60 PIM, 54 shots on goal and 53 hits through 49 outings this season, but he'll likely miss nearly half of Minnesota's remaining games.

Wild's Patrick Maroon: Sneaks in assist
Rotowire
Maroon delivered a power-play assist in Friday's 6-4 win over the Panthers.
Maroon has four goals, 11 assists and a minus-9 rating through 45 games. The journeyman winger can work on the power play as needed, but he's more of a bottom-six contributor for 5-on-5 situations. Either way, fantasy managers aren't likely to adopt Maroon's services since he's ranked outside the top-300 skaters in points.

Wild's Patrick Maroon: Lone Wild goal in loss
Rotowire
Maroon scored a goal while matching a season high with five shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Maroon got Minnesota on the board midway through the second period, tapping a loose puck past Jacob Markstrom off an odd-man rush. The goal was Maroon's first in 14 games -- he recorded just two assists in that span.

Wild's Patrick Maroon: Collects goal Thursday
Rotowire
Maroon supplied a goal in a 6-1 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Maroon found the back of the net early in the second period to extend the Wild's lead to 4-0. It was his third goal and 11th point in 21 games this season. He's already closing in on his 2022-23 total of 14 points in 80 contests with Tampa Bay last season, and that increase in production is likely thanks to him averaging 13:38 of ice time as a member of the Wild in 2023-24, up from 10:21 last year.

Wild's Patrick Maroon: Two-point effort in win
Rotowire
Maroon scored a goal and recorded an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
The veteran winger opened the scoring just 19 seconds into the first period, snapping home a one-timer on a pass from behind the net by Joel Eriksson Ek, and Maroon returned the favor midway through the third by creating a turnover in the Isles' zone then finding Eriksson Ek wide open to the right of Semyon Varlamov. Maroon managed only five goals and 14 points in 80 games last season for Tampa Bay, but he's off to a fantastic start to his first campaign with Minnesota, racking up two goals and nine points in only 12 contests while working his way onto the second power-play unit.

Rotowire
Maroon sustained an upper-body injury in Thursday's game versus the Islanders.
Maroon appeared to be favoring his arm after leaving the ice late in the second period. The 34-year-old winger has been a key part of the Lightning's bottom six, so he'll be missed more on the ice than in fantasy if he can't suit up Saturday in Ottawa.

Maroon remains mired in a nine-game goal drought and has just one shot on goal in his last six contests.
