Lightning forward Pat Maroon has a chance to become the third player in the NHL expansion era to win the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons with different teams.
Maroon won the Stanley Cup last season with the St. Louis Blues. He signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Lightning on Aug. 24, 2019.
"We've got to go for four more [wins]," Maroon said.
The last player to be a part of back-to-back Cup championships with different teams was Mark Hartigan, with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 and Red Wings in 2008.
Hartigan's name is not on the Stanley Cup, however, because he didn't meet the games-played criteria either time (at least 41 games played in the regular season or one game played in the Stanley Cup Final).
Before that, Cory Stillman won the Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2004 and the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006. The Stanley Cup was not awarded in 2005 because of a work stoppage.
Claude Lemieux is the last player to play in the Cup Final with different teams in back-to-back years and win it each time. He did it with the New Jersey Devils in 1995, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy, and in 1996 with the Avalanche.
