The Edmonton Oilers are playing it safe ahead of Monday's NHL trade deadline.
Forward Patrick Maroon, who's been rumored to be on the move, will be a healthy scratch Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks, the team announced.
The impending unrestricted free agent has 14 goals and 30 points in 57 games for the Oilers this season. Last year he scored a career-high 27 goals while playing predominantly alongside Connor McDavid.
Given his knack for scoring and playing with grit, Maroon is one of the top rental wingers available on the trade market.
