Engvall notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
Engvall has four goals and two assists over his last 10 contests. That's one of his better stretches of the season, a campaign that has seen him get waived to create roster flexibility, though he was able to avoid a trip to AHL Bridgeport. He's now at 14 points, 74 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-8 rating across 55 appearances, mostly in a bottom-six role.

Rotowire

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Opens scoring Monday
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Engvall's finding a little more success on offense lately with three points over his last five games. He's played in nine straight contests, though he remains in a bottom-six role, so the scoring could dry up at any time. For the season, Engvall has just 11 points with 59 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-11 rating over 50 appearances.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Gets game winner
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh.
It stood as the winner. Engvall beat defender Ryan Graves to a loose puck in the left circle and wired a wrist shot past Tristan Jarry. He has really struggled offensively this season with just five goals and five assists in 47 games. While he has eight hits and 11 shots in his last four games, Engvall is neither a muscle guy nor a volume shooter. Bottom line: It's a nice game for a great guy, but it doesn't make him fantasy worthy.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Chips in with assist
Rotowire
Engvall logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.
Engvall snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched three times during that slump, but Sunday marked his fifth game in a row in the lineup, and he's seeing third-line usage currently. The 28-year-old winger is up to nine points, 51 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-10 rating over 46 appearances. Engvall doesn't do enough to help in most fantasy formats, even if he continues to see steady ice time.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Gets on scoresheet with goal
Rotowire
Engvall scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Engvall ended a two-month point drought -- he had been held off the scoresheet in his last 17 outings while getting scratched six times in that span. The 28-year-old forward has eight points, 39 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-5 rating through 39 appearances this season. He was waived in December to create some roster flexibility but ultimately stayed with the Islanders and would require another pass through waivers to be assigned to AHL Bridgeport in the future.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Puts up assist Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire

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.

Rotowire

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.
