Jim Montgomery reveals when Pat Maroon will make his debut

Head coach Jim Montgomery revealed that the Boston Bruins are eyeing the upcoming week for Pat Maroon's debut.

Maroon, acquired during the trade deadline, has been sidelined for over two months due to a back injury.

His absence spanned six weeks with the Wild before joining Boston in exchange for a sixth-round pick and a minor league player. Notably, this marks Maroon's fifth career trade, with only two instances of switching teams via free agency.

Prior to his injury, Maroon boasted four goals and 16 points in 49 games, displaying a notable increase in ice time compared to his previous seasons.

As the Bruins integrate Maroon into their lineup, they aim to benefit from his veteran presence and physicality, particularly on the fourth line, which has leaned heavily on rookies and call-ups.
