Engvall notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Engvall was waived Friday, but he remains in the NHL for now, though he's on shaky ground for sticking around. If he plays in every game moving forward, he would exhaust his current waivers exemption Jan. 9. Engvall may lose his place in the lineup or on the roster earlier than that, as Anthony Duclair (lower body) and Bo Horvat (lower body) could be close to returns. Engvall has seven points, 27 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Adds helper in win
Rotowire
Engvall notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
Engvall had been scratched for three of the previous four games. The 28-year-old winger is struggling to stay in the Islanders' lineup even in a fourth-line capacity. While he had a three-game goal streak in mid-November, he needs to find more consistency over long stretches. He's at six points, 25 shots on net and 10 PIM through 18 outings this season.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Nets goal Thursday
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Engvall played well in a third-line role, and his tally at 2:10 of the second period was the game-winner. That was the first goal of the season for the 28-year-old winger. He has three points, 20 shots on net, six PIM and four hits over nine outings. Engvall is holding onto a bottom-six spot in the lineup, though he's unlikely to score enough to draw much fantasy interest.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Offers helper in overtime loss
Rotowire
Engvall registered an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.
Engvall has played in all five games in November, earning two assists and 14 shots on net. The 28-year-old is putting in a good effort and has played on the third line in the last three games, which should keep him well ahead of Hudson Fasching in the battle for playing time among a number of wingers. Engvall has 15 shots, three hits, two blocked shots and six PIM over seven outings this season. While his playing time is looking steady, he's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Garners assist in loss
Rotowire
Engvall notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
The helper was Engvall's first point in four appearances this season. The 28-year-old has added six shots on net, two hits and four PIM. He was waived at the start of the season and struggled with AHL Bridgeport prior to his recall. Engvall is in competition with Oliver Wahlstrom, Hudson Fasching and Matt Martin for bottom-six minutes. Only one of those four forwards will have to sit out at any given time in the near term while the Islanders await the returns of Mathew Barzal (upper body) and Anthony Duclair (leg), both of whom aren't expected back until December.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Sinks former team
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Engvall scored with 2:02 left in the third period to put the Islanders ahead for good. The 27-year-old had gone eight games without a point and sat out four contests with an upper-body injury in January, so getting his first game-winner of the season against his former team was a fantastic way to come out of the All-Star break. Overall, Engvall has six goals, 15 points, 74 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-1 rating through 44 appearances, mainly in a middle-six role.

Rotowire
Engvall (upper body) will not be in the lineup Friday in Chicago, according to Stefan Rosner of The Hockey News.
Engvall will miss his second consecutive contest. He has five goals and 14 points in 41 games, but he has been in a prolonged slump, scoring once with no assists in his last 17 outings. He was replaced by Oliver Wahlstrom against Winnipeg on Tuesday and Engvall will likely take Wahlstrom's place in the lineup upon his return. Consider Engvall day-to-day at this time.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Collects second goal of 2023-24

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.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Sets up goal in narrow loss
Rotowire
Engvall earned a primary assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
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.
