Pierre Engvall Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Flyers vs Islanders game on tomorrow with our National Hockey League injury report.Dec 1, 2023
Collects second goal of 2023-24
Engvall scored a goal in a 5-4 overtime win against Carolina on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's marker late in the second period gave the Islanders a 3-2 lead. It was his second goal and 11th point in 21 games this season. If Engvall stays healthy throughout the campaign, then he might be able to surpass his career high of 35 points, but not by much. He's been serving in a middle-six capacity while seeing some time on the second power-play unit.
Nov 16, 2023
Nets goal on power play
Engvall scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Engvall opened the scoring at 7:30 of the first period with his first goal of the season. The 27-year-old has seen some power-play time on the second unit while maintaining an even-strength role on the second line even after his scratch last week. The winger is up to seven points, 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 14 appearances.
Oct 28, 2023
Generates assist
Engvall recorded an assist in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's shot led to a Kyle Palmieri goal on a rebound in the first period. The 27-year-old Engball has held down a middle-six role for the Islanders this year, though he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in six of seven games so far. He has one goal, two assists, six shots on net, four PIM and a plus-1 rating.
Oct 21, 2023
Sets up goal in narrow loss
Engvall earned a primary assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
ANALYSIS
The Islanders signed Engvall to a seven-year, $21 million deal this past summer, including a modified no-trade clause for the entire duration of the contract. It's probably not breaking the bank from a monetary standpoint, and the Isles clearly have big plans for Engvall in order to justify securing his services through the 2029-30 campaign. Last year, he registered 17 goals and 13 assists through 78 games between the Maple Leafs and Islanders.
Jul 1, 2023
Inks seven-year deal with Islanders
Engvall signed a seven-year, $21 million contract with the Islanders on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall accounted for 17 goals and 30 points in 76 games with Toronto and the Islanders last season. Look for him to occupy a top-six forward spot and see time on the power play in 2023-24.
Apr 25, 2023
Grabs two points in Game 5
Engvall tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
Engvall opened the scoring in Game 5 with his first point of the postseason, grabbing a loose puck in front of the net before beating Antti Raanta to give the Islanders a first-period lead. Engvall would pick up a second point with an assist on Brock Nelson's tally early in the second period. The 26-year-old Engvall posted 17 goals and 30 points in 76 regular games, including nine points (five goals, four assists) in 18 games with the Islanders following a deadline move from Toronto.
Mar 27, 2023
Sets new career high in goals
Engvall scored a goal in a 5-1 win over New Jersey on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's marker was his 16th of the campaign, 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.
Mar 18, 2023
Success continues with helper
Engvall logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 15, 2023
Keeps rolling with two points
Engvall scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 14, 2023
Goals in back-to-back games
Engvall scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 11, 2023
Ends seven-game scoring slump
Engvall provided a goal in a 5-1 loss to Washington on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall opened the scoring early in the first period, but the Islanders were unable to build off that lead. He has 13 goals and 22 points in 61 contests this season. Engvall was held off the scoresheet over his previous seven outings.
Mar 4, 2023
Set for Islanders debut
Engvall will make his debut with the Islanders on Saturday versus Detroit, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall is slated to play on the top line with Bo Horvat and Anders Lee in the contest. He had 12 goals and 21 points in 58 games with the Maple Leafs prior to being acquired by New York.
Feb 28, 2023
Traded to Long Island
Engvall was flipped to the Islanders from the Leafs in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 18, 2023
Three goals in last six games
Engvall scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-1 win over Montreal.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 10, 2023
Nets goal Friday
Engvall provided a goal in Toronto's 3-0 victory over Columbus on Friday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 30, 2023
Scores goal in rout
Engvall scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-1 dismantling of the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 31, 2022
Extends point streak to five games
Engvall scored a goal in a 6-2 win against Colorado on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's marker came at 9:27 of the first period and put Toronto up 2-0. It was his seventh goal and 14th point in 35 contests this season. The 26-year-old is on a five-game point streak.
Dec 29, 2022
Draws helper Thursday
Engvall notched an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Coyotes.
ANALYSIS
Engvall has quietly put together a four-game point streak (one goal, three helpers). The 26-year-old forward typically doesn't earn much attention in fantasy, but he could be helpful in deeper formats while he's picking up points. He's at six goals, seven assists, 55 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-7 rating through 34 contests this season.
Dec 13, 2022
Goal and assist in win
Engvall logged a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Engvall picked up the primary assist on Alex Kerfoot's opening goal in the first period before adding a tally of his own in the third. It's the first multi-point game of the season for the 26-year-old winger as he now has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two outings. Engvall is up to five goals and four assists through 28 games this season.
Dec 11, 2022
Finishes serving suspension
Engvall has finished serving his one-game suspension for high-sticking Los Angeles defender Sean Durzi on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
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. Engvall could slot back on Toronto's third line with David Kampf and Alex Kerfoot. If that happens, Joey Anderson could be bumped to the fourth line and Wayne Simmonds could be relegated to the press box. Engvall has four goals, seven points, 44 shots on net and 28 hits in 27 games this season.
Dec 9, 2022
Suspended one game
Engvall received a one-game suspension for high-sticking Kings defenseman Sean Durzi.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will miss Saturday's game against Calgary and he'll be eligible to return Tuesday against the Ducks. The 26-year-old winger has seven points in 27 games this season, including a goal during Thursday's win over Los Angeles. Joey Anderson was promoted from AHL Toronto on Friday and could suit up Saturday.
Dec 9, 2022
Faces NHL discipline
Engvall could be suspended for slashing the Kings' Sean Durzi Thursday, Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will meet with the NHL Disciplinary Committee via phone on Friday as he was given a match penalty for his misdeed, early in the third period. Durzi finished the game without missing a shift, but Engvall could be suspended for one or two games. Engvall has opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season in a 5-0 Maple Leafs victory.
Nov 30, 2022
Converts game-winning marker
Engvall scored a third-period goal and added two shots during Wednesday's 3-1 win over the visiting Sharks.
ANALYSIS
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. For the Maple Leafs to contend for their first Stanley Cup since 1967, Engvall will need to average more than one marker every eight appearances.
Nov 6, 2022
Pockets helper Sunday
Engvall produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 29, 2022
First goal of season
Engvall scored his first goal of the season Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
It was Engvall's first point of the season (eight games); it came late in the second period to draw the Leafs to within one at 3-2.. The Leafs need secondary scoring and they have waiting for Engvall's game to wake up. He won't offer much in fantasy, but he will on the ice if he can replicate or better his 35 points from last season.
Oct 24, 2022
Back in lineup
Engvall, who was a healthy scratch Saturday, will be back in the lineup Monday, reports The Star.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2022
Returns to action Saturday
Engvall (ankle) will return to the Maple Leafs lineup Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
This is according to coach Sheldon Keefe. Engvall has yet to participate in any games and just returned to practice at the start of the week. Engvall had a career year in 2021-22, scoring 15 goals and adding 20 assists.
Oct 2, 2022
Returns to practice
Engvall (ankle) took part in Sunday's practice, David Alter of Sports Illustratedreports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall is making good progress and intends to start skating harder on his injured ankle this week. He has already been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against Montreal.
Sep 21, 2022
Out with injury
Engvall will be re-evaluated on Oct. 3 to see if he can return from his ankle/foot problem, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
If Engvall is cleared to return Oct. 3, he would potentially have three preseason contests to get back up to speed before Opening Night versus the Habs. With the winger sidelined, Zach Aston-Reese may have a better shot at securing a permanent deal after coming into camp on a PTO. Still, based on his timeline, Engvall shouldn't be expected to miss a significant chunk of the regular season and should be capable of putting up another 35-point campaign.

Sep 20, 2022
Won't be ready for camp
Engvall is reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't be cleared for the start of training camp, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall set new career highs last season in games (78), goals (15) and assists (20) which saw him sign a new one-year contract this offseason. The club has yet to release any specific details regarding the nature or severity of the winger's injury or whether he will be ready for Opening Night. If Engvall does miss out, Zach Aston-Reese could be a candidate to replace him in the lineup.

Jul 17, 2022
Secures one-year deal
Engvall signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with Toronto on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After a breakout 2021-22 campaign in which Engvall scored 15 goals and 35 points, Toronto gave him a $1 million raise for the 2022-23 season. The 26-year-old winger was a restricted free agent and he'll now hit unrestricted free agency in a year. Engvall averaged 13:17 of ice time through 78 games and he should skate in a similar role next season.
May 6, 2022
Three apples keeps Bolts away
Engvall picked up three assists in a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay in Game 3 on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The big center put on a show and especially late in the game. Engvall was on his way to an empty-net goal when he decided to pass the puck to Ilya Mikheyev, who was on a 2-on-0 with him. He set up Mikheyev on another empty netter to seal the game. Perhaps more importantly, Engvall was trusted on the ice at the end of the game and was earlier shuffled up to the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner to add even more defensive chops to that line at even strength. Engvall is versatile and exactly the kind of player that a winning squad needs.
Apr 17, 2022
Nets equalizer in second period
Engvall scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Engvall got a bump up to the second line as part of the ripple effect of Auston Matthews' (undisclosed) absence. That was just what Engvall needed to snap a six-game goal drought with the game-tying goal at 10:49 of the second period. The 25-year-old has earned eight points in his last 10 outings while playing in the middle six for the Maple Leafs. He's at 14 goals, 31 points, 143 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-8 rating in 72 contests overall.
Apr 14, 2022
Seven points in last eight games
Engvall picked up two assists Thursday in a 7-3 win over the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
It was just Engvall's second multi-point game since Jan. 19. He has more of a presence on the ice than in the fantasy arena, but he does seem to have chemistry with linemate William Nylander. And that elevates Engvall's potential. He has seven points (two goals, five assists) in his last eight games.
Mar 7, 2022
Registers assist in win
Engvall notched an assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
Engvall set up linemate Ilya Mikheyev's opening tally in the first period. With a goal, an assist and 10 shots on net in his last four games, Engvall has been steady in a bottom-six role. The 25-year-old secured his first 20-point campaign Monday, and he's added 104 shots, 38 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 52 outings.
Feb 28, 2022
Fills empty cage
Engvall scored an empty-net goal on three shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
Engvall returned from a one-game absence due to a stomach illness. He was held quiet for much of the contest until he deposited an empty-netter with 1:01 left in the third period. The 25-year-old is now at a career-high nine goals with 10 assists, 97 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 49 contests. He'll remain in a bottom-six role, but he's been a solid depth scorer, though that's likely not enough to help in standard fantasy formats.
Feb 28, 2022
Good to go Monday
Engvall (illness) will be in Monday's lineup against the Capitals, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will jump back into a middle-six role after a one-game absence. The 25-year-old has 18 points while averaging 12:41 of ice time through 48 games this season.
Feb 26, 2022
Reason for absence clarified
Engvall missed Saturday's game due to a stomach illness, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's absence allowed Nick Robertson to make his season debut for the Maple Leafs. The 25-year-old Engvall will try to recover from the illness prior to Monday's game versus the Capitals.
Feb 26, 2022
Out of action Saturday
Engvall (stomach) won't play Saturday versus the Red Wings, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall is dealing with a stomach issue that will force him to miss one game. Nick Robertson will draw into the lineup in a fourth-line role instead. Engvall has 18 points through 48 games and will aim to be ready for Monday's game versus the Capitals.
Feb 21, 2022
Buries goal in loss
Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Engvall netted the Leafs' second tally, but the deficit was too much for them to overcome in the third period. The 25-year-old entered Monday on a six-game point drought. Engvall has eight goals, 10 assists, 94 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-2 rating in 46 appearances. He mainly plays in a bottom-six role, so fantasy managers can't expect gaudy scoring numbers from the Swede.
Feb 2, 2022
Two points in blowout win
Engvall had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 7-1 win over New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Engvall helped Jason Spezza open the scoring in the first, then potted Toronto's sixth goal of the night in the second. Despite skating in Toronto's bottom six, Engvall has already set a career high with 17 points in 39 games heading into the All-Star break.
Jan 29, 2022
Deflects in goal
Engvall scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Red Wings.
ANALYSIS
Engvall was in the right position as the puck pinballed off of him and past Alex Nedeljkovic for the Maple Leafs' first goal. In five games since he returned from the COVID-19 protocols, Engvall has two goals and three assists. The Swede has matched his career high with 15 points in 37 contests. He's added 81 shots, 29 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating from a bottom-six role this season.
Jan 19, 2022
Strong showing despite loss
Engvall recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
We highly doubt that Engvall is the first player to come to mind when you think about the Maple Leafs, but his offensive numbers check out well for a third-line skater. The Swede has four goals and nine assists through 34 games.
Jan 15, 2022
Exits COVID-19 protocols
Engvall has cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Saturday's game versus St. Louis, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall is expected to return to a third-line role following his three-game absence. The 25-year-old winger has picked up 10 points through 32 contests this campaign.
Jan 7, 2022
Enters virus protocols
The Maple Leafs placed Engvall in COVID-19 protocols Friday.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will be miss Saturday's game in Colorado and possibly more while he recovers from the virus. The 25-year-old winger has recorded 10 points while averaging 13 minutes of ice time this season and should return to his regular role once healthy.
Dec 5, 2021
Pockets power-play assist
Engvall recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Engvall helped out on a Michael Bunting tally in the first period. The 25-year-old Engvall has contributed two goals and three assists in his last six games despite playing in a bottom-six role. The Swede is up to nine points, 57 shots, 23 hits and a plus-2 rating through 26 contests overall.
Nov 28, 2021
Offers helper in win
Engvall recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Engvall set up Wayne Simmonds for a late insurance tally in the third period. With a goal and two assists over his last three games, Engvall has seen a slight uptick in offense. The Swedish forward has a modest seven points with 48 shots, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating in 23 appearances this year.
Nov 24, 2021
One of each in win
Engvall scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Engvall put the Maple Leafs ahead at 3:19 of the second period, and they didn't look back. He also helped out on a Jason Spezza tally later in the frame. The 25-year-old Engvall is rarely a consistent scorer for the Maple Leafs. He has two goals, four helpers, 45 shots and 10 PIM in 21 contests, and he's unlikely to play his way into a top-six role any time soon. His role on the second power-play unit could make him useful in deeper fantasy formats though.
Oct 13, 2021
Strikes for power-play tally
Engvall scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Montreal.
ANALYSIS
Engvall got Toronto on the board midway through the first period, sending a shot through traffic from above the circle that got past Montreal netminder Jake Allen to tie the game. It was Engvall's first power-play tally in 91 career NHL games. The 25-year-old is coming off a seven-goal, 12-point sophomore campaign.
May 29, 2021
Chips in with helper
Engvall registered an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 6.
ANALYSIS
With the return of Nick Foligno (lower body), Engvall was dropped into a fourth-line role. That didn't stop Engvall from getting on the scoresheet. He helped out on T.J. Brodie's game-tying goal in the third period. The assist was Engvall's first point in five postseason outings. He's added 10 shots on goal, 10 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating.
May 21, 2021
Moves into lineup for Game 2
Engvall (healthy scratch) will move into the Leafs' lineup on the third line for Game 2 on Saturday, reports TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
Engvall skated on the third line with centre Alex Kerfoot and Ilya Mikheyev at practice on Friday. He scored a goal in three of his last four regular season games, and is big (6-foot-5) and fast. Coach Sheldon Keefe has been forced to juggle lines with the injury to John Tavares (concussion).
May 14, 2021
Opens scoring in Friday's loss
Engvall scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Engvall broke in from the left wing and sniped a shot past Connor Hellebuyck in the first period. The 24-year-old Engvall finished with seven goals, five assists, 61 shots on net and a minus-2 rating in 42 appearances this year. He's mostly worked in a bottom-six role, although he's collected four goals in his last five outings to finish the season in good form.
May 6, 2021
Pots goal in win
Engvall scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's tally at 10:38 of the first period came on a rebound, and it was the game-winner Thursday. The 24-year-old forward has five goals, five assists, 54 shots and 14 PIM through 39 appearances. He's not likely to see more than bottom-six minutes.
Apr 29, 2021
First goal in 13 games
Engvall scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
On a rush, Engvall received a pass low in the right circle from Jason Spezza and he beat Orcas' netminder Braden Holtby high over this glove. It was Engvall's first goal in 13 games and first point in eight. That's a rate that keeps him on the waiver wire.
Apr 5, 2021
Chips in with helper
Engvall recorded an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Engvall set up Wayne Simmonds' tally in the third period as the Maple Leafs' fourth line got involved in the offense. The 24-year-old Engvall has just eight points, 43 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating through 30 contests this year. His bottom-six role will likely send most fantasy managers looking elsewhere for depth forwards.
Mar 27, 2021
First goal in nine games
Engvall scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
It was his first in nine games and it came on a fluky play, but a goal is a goal. The fact that Auston Matthews set it up was also a fluke. Engvall is a bit part in the Leafs' bottom six that is better on the ice than in the fantasy arena.
Mar 4, 2021
Buries lone goal in loss
Engvall scored a goal on three shots, doled out two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Engvall's tally tied the game at 1-1 at 17:15 of the first period. He was the only Leaf to beat Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko in the contest. The 24-year-old Engvall now has two goals, five points, 26 shots on net and 19 hits in 16 games.
Feb 27, 2021
Impresses in win
Engvall picked up an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
It was his first point in six games. Engvall doesn't provide much fantasy value, but he played a strong 18-plus minutes Saturday. In fact, he teamed with Zach Hyman and Travis Boyd on the third line to smother the Oilers' stars at times. The trio looked great. Engvall is better on the ice than in the fantasy arena.
Feb 10, 2021
Playing Wednesday
Engvall will be in the lineup versus Montreal on Wednesday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports, which will require him to be promoted from the taxi squad.
ANALYSIS
Engvall figures to be constantly shuffled between the active roster and taxi squad this season. The 24-year-old winger registered one assist, seven shots and four hits in four games this year in which he averaged 9:33 of ice time. The injury to Wayne Simmonds (wrist) should create more opportunities for Engvall to get into the lineup.

Returned to taxi squad
Engvall was returned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CBS.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will likely continue to shuffle between the active roster and taxi squad throughout the campaign. He's picked up one assist in four games this campaign.

Promoted to active roster
Engvall was promoted to Toronto's active roster Monday, per CBS.
ANALYSIS
Despite ascending to the active roster, Engvall didn't dress for Monday's win over the Canucks. The 24-year-old winger has one assist in four games this campaign.

Lands on taxi squad
Engvall was assigned to the taxi squad Sunday, TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall will reside on the taxi squad for the time being, but he could be called back up for Thursday's matchup against the Canucks. The 24-year-old has geared up for four games this year, posting seven shots on net, four hits and four PIM.

Bags helper
Engvall recorded an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Engvall set up Travis Boyd as the Maple Leafs' fourth line contributed their third goal of the contest. The helper was Engvall's first point in three outings this year. He's added a plus-1 rating, six shots on goal and four PIM. The 24-year-old winger will likely only serve as a rotational depth option for the Maple Leafs -- he's unlikely to play enough to be a factor in fantasy.

Plays in Friday's win
Engvall was promoted from the taxi squad and logged 12:37 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Oilers, TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall centered the third line and recorded two PIM, four shots on net and a hit. The 24-year-old forward could stay in the lineup for as long as Auston Matthews (upper body) is on the shelf.

Promoted to taxi squad
Toronto recalled Engvall to the taxi squad Sunday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Engvall tallied 15 points in 48 games with the Maple Leafs last season but was surprisingly cut from training camp earlier this month. The 6-foot-5 winger will provide some depth and could get into the bottom-six in the near future.

Surprise cut at camp
Engvall, who played most of the Maple Leafs' games last season, was among Monday's cuts at training camp, reports Sportsnet.ca.
ANALYSIS
He played well enough last year to earn a two-year extension, but Engvall failed to step up at camp this year. "I expect Pierre to be better, to be honest," coach Sheldon Keefe said Saturday night, after an intrasquad scrimmage. "I think it might be coming up on, if not past, the one-year anniversary of his last goal." Ouch. That's even more a gulp when you realize his last goal came Feb. 22 against the Hurricanes' emergency backup (and Zamboni driver) David Ayers. Engvall is 6-foot-5, but falls back on his excellent skating rather than use his body. And at his size, that just won't fly. Maybe this assignment will wake him up.

Inks two-year extension
Engvall agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.5 million contract extension with Toronto on Wednesday
ANALYSIS
Engvall has registered seven goals and seven helpers in 35 outings this season, though he is currently stuck in an eight-game pointless streak and hasn't found the back of the net in his last 13 appearances. The Swede should continue to primarily fill a bottom-six role throughout the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign but could earn the occasional look in the top-six.
Feb 11, 2020
Point slump continues
Engvall has gone without a point in eight straight games.
ANALYSIS
Engvall has been a pleasant surprise for the Leafs in the bottom six. He is big, hard-working and responsible, and has managed 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 34 games. It includes three game-winning goals. Engvall is a strong on-ice performer in the bottom six, but doesn't offer much fantasy value at the moment.
