Engelland has announced his retirement from professional hockey.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland played a total of 11 NHL seasons split between the Penguins, Flames and Golden Knights during his career, totaling 30 goals, 97 assists and a whopping 579 PIM in 671 appearances. Although his playing days are over, Engelland will remain in the world of professional hockey as a member of Vegas' front office staff.

According to general manager Kelly McCrimmon, Engelland turned down an opportunity to be moved to another team at the trade deadline, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland could have gotten more playing time with the club that expressed interest in acquiring him at the deadline, but he decided to remain with the Golden Knights because he believed the team had a real chance of winning the Stanley Cup this year. He wasn't far off, as Vegas made it all the way to the Western Conference finals before being knocked out by the Stars. It remains to be seen if the Knights, or any NHL club for that matter, will express interest in signing the 38-year-old blueliner to a short-term deal this offseason.

Engelland has appeared in only one of a possible 17 games this calendar year.

EDGE Analysis

Vegas traded for veteran Alec Martinez and it had been getting rink run out of undrafted prospect Zach Whitecloud prior to the season's suspension, consequently leaving Engelland devoid of opportunities. The 37-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, though retirement is certainly possible for the alternate captain.

Engelland posted a career-high 52.8 Corsi For percentage through 47 games leading up to the All-Star break.

EDGE Analysis

This metric shows that the Golden Knights are controlling the puck more often than not with Engelland actively patrolling the blue line. He hasn't recorded a point in 14 straight games, but the Vegas native remains a respected locker-room leader for the young franchise.

Engelland registered an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland has been relatively productive with a goal and three assists through 10 December games. The 37-year-old defenseman has six points, 86 hits, 58 blocked shots and 22 PIM through 33 contests this year.

Engelland scored a goal on four shots, dished two hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland was all over the scoresheet, and his tally ended up being the game-winner to boot. The 37-year-old defenseman has only four points this season, but he's added 72 hits, 51 blocked shots and 18 PIM with a plus-6 rating. He's not likely to interest fantasy owners outside the deepest of formats.

Engelland will suit up for Sunday's contest against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland had been a healthy scratch in four of the last six games and has just two assists in 17 contests this season. The 37-year-old blueliner should see bottom-pair minutes while he's in the lineup.

Engelland is a healthy scratch for Tuesday's road game against the Blue Jackets, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland has just two points through the first 15 games, and his possession metrics are iffy with a 45.0 Corsi For percentage. Nicolas Hague will fill into the bottom pairing in his place.

Engelland (lower body) had five hits, five blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland didn't miss a game with the injury, which was suffered in Sunday's game against the Ducks. The defenseman has only two points in 14 games this year, but he's added 36 hits and 30 blocks as well as a major defensive presence.

Engelland (lower body) is in the projected lineup for Thursday's matchup with Montreal, NHL.com's Danny Webster reports.

EDGE Analysis

Engelland suffered a minor lower-body injury during Sunday's 5-2 win over Anaheim, but he was never in serious danger of missing Thursday's tilt. The veteran blueliner will skate with Shea Theodore on Vegas' second pairing against the Canadiens.
