Engstrom was reassigned to AHL Laval on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom has played 11 games with Montreal, failing to pick up a point in any contest. The defenseman was a healthy scratch the last three games, and the Canadiens decided to give the 22-year-old playing time in the AHL. Engstrom was an offensive defenseman in the AHL, tallying five goals and 16 points in 20 games before being recalled.

Engstrom was called up from AHL Laval on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom will provide extra defensive depth for the Canadiens on their upcoming two-game road trip. The 22-year-old made two appearances earlier in the season, logging two shots on net, two blocked shots and one hit.

Engstrom was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom was scratched for two straight games, so a demotion to the Rocket shouldn't come as a surprise. He appeared in two games while with the Canadiens, logging two shots on net, two blocked shots and a hit. It's unclear if he'll be called up again prior to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

Engstrom has been recalled by the Canadiens from AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday

EDGE Analysis

One day after recording five points for AHL Laval, Engstrom has been brought up to join the NHL club. The 22-year-old has 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 18 games at the AHL level. Should he appear in a game with the Canadiens, it would be the first of his career. Whether that will happen remains to be seen given the Montreal six defensemen are pretty set at the moment.

Engstrom scored a goal and added four assists in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom has scored in three straight games, but it was the four assists that made this a magnificent performance for the defenseman. He's now at five goals and 14 points through 18 appearances for Laval in his second AHL campaign. Engstrom is well on his way to improving from his 27-point effort in the 2024-25 regular season, which could make him a call-up option later this year.

Engstrom was demoted to AHL Laval on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom made it to the final day of training camp, which should speak to how close he might be to breaking into the NHL. The 20-year-old blueliner has yet to make his NHL debut but certainly looks poised to do so at some point during the 2024-25 campaign. Still, the Swede is unlikely to be a full-time contributor at any point, barring a rough stretch of injuries, so fantasy managers in single-season formats can likely overlook him for now.

Engstrom agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with Montreal on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Engstrom saw action in 51 games for Swedish club Rogle BK in which he generated four goals and 18 assists before adding another four assists in 15 postseason contests this year. Even with his entry-level contract in hand, the 20-year-old defenseman is far from a lock to make the jump to North America next year and could spend another season developing in his native Sweden.
