The powerful, rangy Swede has not looked back since receiving his first NHL call-up in mid-November, forcing his way into the mix as a regular in the Leafs’ bottom-six (~12 minutes/game) and on the penalty kill (1:11/game).
Engvall has given the Leafs’ secondary scoring a nice lift with seven goals and 14 points in 35 games, albeit his production has slowed down of late with just one assist in his last nine. His initial shooting success was never going to be sustainable (seven goals on 34 shots, 20.6%), but even when he hasn’t been producing on the scoresheet, he has found a way to provide value on most nights between his play-driving ability at five-on-five, responsible defensive game, and his penalty-killing contributions.
