The Islanders wasted no time throwing new acquisition Pierre Engvall into the deep end, putting him on the top line with Anders Lee and Bo Horvat at Thursday’s practice, Engvall’s first with the team.
The story, though, is the top line, where the Islanders have struggled to fill the hole created by Mathew Barzal’s absence.by sending a 2024 third-round pick in return, played on the third line for most of the year with the Maple Leafs.inside the islanders“I see myself as a two-way player,” Engvall said. “I think that my skating is my biggest asset. So I think [it will be] really [helpful] to get a chance with those guys.
Engvall couldn’t make it to Minnesota in time for the Islanders’ 2-1 loss to the Wild that night, but the two days leading into his Islanders debut represent valuable time to get acclimated. Engvall has 12 goals and nine assists this season, and with the Islanders’ depth depleted in the wake of Barzal’s injury — he was spotted at practice Thursday without a noticeable limp but has yet to start skating — the hope is that Engvall can help plug some of the holes.
