The Boston Bruins are hoping they have their Stanley Cup good luck charm, acquiring forward Pat Maroon from the Wild, according to multiple reports.
Maroon, 35, won the Stanley Cup in three straight seasons, beginning with the St. Louis Blues in 2019 before a back-to-back run with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This appears to be a deal for the playoffs since Maroon underwent back surgery a month ago and was scheduled to be out four to six weeks.
When healthy, he's a rugged, fourth-line presence who often takes the ice after an opponent's goal to help swing the momentum,
The Minnesota Wild have struggled this season, and Maroon, in his first year with the club, became expendable at a cheap rate.
