Pat Maroon News
The Ducks have recalled right wing Devante Smith-Pelly, goaltender Frederik Andersen and left wing Patrick Maroon from the Norfolk Admirals.

Maroon, 25 (4/23/88), has appeared in 11 games for Anaheim this season, scoring two goals (2-0=2) with 10 PIM. He collected his first career NHL goal on Feb. 16 at Nashville, beating Pekka Rinne for the game-tying goal in an eventual 3-2 shootout win.

But the fact that he’s still in Anaheim and other more prominent prospects have already been assigned is a victory in itself. Like any other NHL coach, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle is intrigued with a 6-foot-4, 225-pound winger with the kind of hands that can wreak havoc on teams around the net.

Maroon should make the team as a fourth liner capable of moving up the ranks. Last season he scored 21 goals and 48 points through 57 games with the Syracuse Crunch. He has little-to-nothing left to prove at the AHL level and would be exposed to waivers if sent down.
