The Boston Bruins reportedly acquired three-time Stanley Cup winner Pat Maroon from the Minnesota Wild ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

The 35-year-old forward has 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) and 60 penalty minutes in 49 games this season.

The return for Minnesota was not immediately known.

Maroon won three consecutive Stanley Cups with the St. Louis Blues (2019) and Tampa Bay Lightning (2020, 2021).

The Bruins (37-13-15), who entered Friday's action in second place in the Eastern Conference, have not lifted the Stanley Cup since 2011.

Maroon has tallied 304 points (121 goals, 183 assists) and 990 penalty minutes in 778 games over 13 seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Blues, Lightning and Wild. He has 23 goals and 28 assists in 150 career postseason games.

Also Friday, the Bruins announced a one-year, $800,000 contract extension for defenseman Parker Wotherspoon. The 26-year-old has six assists, a plus-five rating, 54 blocks and 67 hits in 32 games this season.
