Blackhawks' Patrick Maroon: Returning Friday
Rotowire
Maroon (back) will play Friday versus the Lightning, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Maroon missed one game due to a back injury, but three days off between contests helped limit the length of his injury. The 36-year-old winger has dealt with back issues in the past, so he may have to manage the situation for the rest of the season. He'll play on the fourth line Friday and could see power-play time, while Taylor Hall (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup.

Blackhawks' Patrick Maroon: Deals assist in loss
Rotowire
Maroon notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Maroon has earned five points over his last six games, a rare run of productivity for the physical winger. He saw a season-high 15:40 of ice time Monday, but that's a rarity for a fourth-liner, though he also has a power-play role. Maroon is at eight points, 21 shots on net, 42 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 22 appearances. He's already halfway to his scoring output from 2023-24, and it's plausible he could reach the 20-point mark by season's end.

Blackhawks' Patrick Maroon: Registers assist in win
Rotowire
Maroon produced an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Maroon has four helpers, 16 shots on net, 28 PIM, 31 hits and a minus-2 rating across 17 appearances.

Rotowire
Maroon recorded two assists and five hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Maroon earned his first multi-point effort of the season by helping out on third-period tallies from Ryan Donato and Connor Bedard. Offense is not a significant part of Maroon's playing style -- he had just 16 points over 51 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he's topped the 40-point mark in just two of his first 13 campaigns. So far in 2024-25, he has three helpers, 18 hits, 19 PIM, seven shots on goal and a minus-1 rating while filling a bottom-six role.
