The 12-year veteran also logged 172 hits and a league-high 150 penalty minutes in 2022-23. Maroon totaled 134 penalty minutes, the second-most in the NHL, in 2021-22.

Cajkovic, 22, was a third-round pick by the Lightning in the 2019 NHL Draft. He scored 10 goals and logged 17 assists in 41 games last season for the ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears.
