Left wing Patrick Maroon, who led the Ducks’ minor-league affiliate in scoring this past season, signed a one-year contract extensino with the club on Thursday.

Maroon scored 32 goals, had 42 assists and was a plus-17 for the Syracuse Crunch, giving him AHL career highs in each category. The 24-year-old ranked third in the league in scoring with 74 points and was tied for fifth in goals.

His new contract is a two-way deal that will pay him $ 550,000 in the NHL and $ 105,000 in the AHL, which is a raise from the $ 60,000 he made after after signing a one-year contract with the Ducks last July. Maroon does not have arbitration rights.

The Ducks originally acquired Maroon from Philadelphia along with forward David Laliberte for defenseman Danny Syvret and center Rob Bordson. Laliberte is playing in Germany, Syvret played for the St. Louis Blues’ AHL team in Peoria and Bordson finished last season with the AHL’s Adirondack Phantoms.
