The St. Louis Blues are facing off against the Chicago Blackhawks on March 22. The Blues' goal will be to stay hot after winning each of their last four games.
This matchup will be an emotional one for Blackhawks forward Pat Maroon, as it will be the last time the St. Louis native will play at the Enterprise Center. The former Blue told Darren Pang before the contest that he is planning to retire at the end of the season.
Maroon, 36, was a part of the Blues' 2019 Stanley Cup championship team, where he emerged as a fan favorite. In 74 regular-season games with the Blues that season, he had 10 goals, 28 points, and 135 hits. He also had three goals and seven points in 26 playoff games for the Blues during their 2019 championship run.
In 839 career NHL games over 14 seasons split between the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, Minnesota Wild, Boston Bruins, and Blackhawks, he has 125 goals, 320 points, 1,071 penalty minutes, and 1,583 hits. He also has three Stanley Cups on his resume. It's been a great career for the former sixth-round pick.
