With Trevor Moore placed on IR, the Leafs have recalled 23-year-old Pierre Engvall from the Marlies and he will make his NHL debut tonight on a line with Frederik Gauthier and Nick Shore. If you followed the Marlies down the stretch and into the playoffs last spring, you’ll know Engvall showed significant growth in his game and he has carried that over to start 2019-20 with 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 15 games (ranked 13th in the AHL, fourth in u23 points).
Whoever has played with Gauthier and Shore has taken care of a lot of the puck carrying duties for the line (Timashov, Petan), so Engvall will need to be confident in that area of the game tonight.
