In recent seasons, Maroon's performance had been hampered by injuries, causing him to noticeably slow down on the ice. The hope was that the surgery would provide the necessary boost to prolong his NHL career. Yet, as with any surgical procedure, there were risks involved, leaving the Bruins uncertain about Maroon's availability for the remainder of the season.
While Maroon's return to game action before the season's end remains uncertain, this development marks a significant step forward. Adding a player of Maroon's caliber could provide the Bruins with the crucial edge needed to make a deeper playoff run this year. After last year's disappointing postseason exit, Boston is determined to make the necessary adjustments to avoid a repeat scenario.
