Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Sets new career high in goals
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal in a 5-1 win over New Jersey on Monday.
Engvall's marker was his 16th of the season, which surpasses his previous career high set during the 2021-22 campaign. However, with 27 points through 69 appearances this season, he's still well behind his personal best of 35 points. Engvall was held off the scoresheet in each of his previous three outings, but he recorded three goals and five points over four games from March 11-18.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Success continues with helper
Rotowire
Engvall logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Engvall helped out on Ryan Pulock's second-period tally. The assist gave Engvall a four-game point streak (three goals, two helpers). The 26-year-old winger has found a place on the second line alongside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. Engvall has 26 points, 111 shots, 41 hits and a plus-3 rating through 65 outings this season, but his recent play could make him a viable depth forward in fantasy.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Keeps rolling with two points
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
Engvall has scored in three straight games, and his helper was his first as an Islander. The 26-year-old winger looked good on the second line with Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri in this contest, but it's unclear if that trio will stick together. For the season, Engvall has 15 goals, 10 assists, 111 shots on net, 41 hits and a plus-3 rating through 64 appearances.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Goals in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Engvall needed some time to adjust to the Islanders, going without a point in his first three games following a trade from the Maple Leafs. He's bounced back with a goal in each of his last two outings, giving him 14 tallies and 23 points through 63 contests overall. The 26-year-old's spot in the lineup is still fluid, but he should continue to play regularly in a middle-six role.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Traded to Long Island
Rotowire
Engvall was flipped to the Islanders from the Leafs in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick Tuesday.
Engvall is just the latest change to the Leafs' roster that has been in complete flux, starting with the additions of Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty. With his new club, the 26-year-old Engvall should be in the mix for a third-line role at a minimum and could even push for a large role down the stretch.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Three goals in last six games
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-1 win over Montreal.
His second-period goal stood as the winner. Engvall skated out of the corner and wired it past Jake Allen from just inside the right face-off dot. He won't equal his 35-point career high water mark set last season, but he is warming up a bit. Engvall has three goals and an assist, along with 17 shots, in his last six games.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Nets goal Friday
Rotowire
Engvall provided a goal in Toronto's 3-0 victory over Columbus on Friday.
Engvall scored at 7:49 of the third period to boost the Maple Leafs' edge to 2-0. It was his 11th marker and 19th point in 51 games in 2022-23. Engvall entered the contest getting 13:03 of ice time per game this season, but he averaged 15:52 over his previous two outings and logged 16:55 on Friday. As long as the 26-year-old is playing a bigger role with Toronto, he's worth keeping an eye on.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Scores goal in rout
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-1 dismantling of the Capitals.
Prior to Sunday's tilt, Engvall had failed to score a goal in six straight games and was pointless in his previous four outings. If the Swede can snag six more goals during the back half of the season, he could set a new personal best after putting up 15 during the 2021-22 campaign.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Finishes serving suspension
Rotowire
Engvall has finished serving his one-game suspension for high-sticking Los Angeles defender Sean Durzi on Thursday.
Engvall was not able to play in Saturday's contest against Calgary as a result of the one-game ban. However, he will be eligible to return Tuesday versus Anaheim.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Converts game-winning marker
Rotowire
Engvall scored a third-period goal and added two shots during Wednesday's 3-1 win over the visiting Sharks.
Engvall, who scored his first goal in nine outings Wednesday, will be needed at some point to provide consistent scoring. The Maple Leafs, who have won five straight, haven't needed much from the bottom two lines this season, but the top-six can't expect to carry the club all season. The 26-year-old left winger notched his first tally during his eighth appearance. Goal No. 2 came seven outings later.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Pockets helper Sunday
Rotowire
Engvall produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Engvall set up Calle Jarnkrok's game-tying goal in the second period. The assist was just the second point of the season for Engvall, who has struggled to generate offense in a bottom-six role. He had 35 points in 78 contests last year, so the early struggles suggest he's going through a bit of regression. He's added 17 shots on net, 13 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 12 appearances, but it's unlikely he goes on an extended run of scoring any time soon.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: First goal of season
Rotowire
Engvall scored his first goal of the season Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Los Angeles.
Engvall's first point of the season (eight games) came late in the second period to draw the Leafs to within one at 3-2. The Leafs need secondary scoring and have been waiting for Engvall's game to wake up. He won't offer much in fantasy, but he will be useful on the ice if he can replicate or better his 35 points from last season.

Maple Leafs' Pierre Engvall: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Engvall, who was a healthy scratch Saturday, will be back in the lineup Monday, reports The Star.
The foot injury he suffered before training camp seems to have put him a little behind his teammates in terms of readiness, and he is yet to register a point. Engvall has seven shots and eight hits, but has been mostly invisible.
