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.

Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

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: Set for Islanders debut
Rotowire
Engvall will make his debut with the Islanders on Saturday versus Detroit, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
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.
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: 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.
