EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — While the Islanders as a whole are preparing to run it back in 2023-24 with a virtually identical roster from last year, the new campaign
New York Islanders left wing Pierre Engvall celebrates his goal with center Brock Nelson and center Kyle Palmieri during the second period of an NHL hockey game next to Washington Capitals defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk , Wednesday, March 29, 2023, in Washington.
“We had quite a bit of success down the road last year,” Nelson said. “In the playoffs, I thought we were great.” “If it shakes up that way, making plays, those are two guys I feel pretty comfortable playing with. You don’t expect to play with the same guys the whole time, but when you do find yourself in a rhythm with those guys, you want to try and run with it for as long as you can.”Engvall, who scored just 30 goals in his first 168 games played from 2019-2022, posted five goals with four assists in 18 regular-season games with the Islanders, which helped him reach a career-high of 17 goals last year.
He’ll certainly have an opportunity to continue building on his game. He received more than two extra minutes of ice time with the Islanders compared to his time with Toronto and should receive comparable ice time moving forward. Carving out a partnership with an All-Star center will only further help his prospects, too.
