Engvall (ankle) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall was already expected to miss the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, so his designation for long-term injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. Assuming the winger won't be an option for a potential playoff run, the Isles can get the full $3 million in cap savings from Engvall's cap hit.

Engvall (hip) underwent ankle surgery Tuesday and will likely miss the entire 2025-26 campaign, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall began the year on injured reserve following offseason hip surgery, and he'll likely miss the entirety of the campaign following his ankle procedure. The 29-year-old made 62 regular-season appearances for the Islanders last year and recorded eight goals, seven assists, 47 hits, 16 PIM and 12 blocked shots while averaging 11:49 of ice time.

Engvall (hip) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall will be unavailable for the start of the 2025-26 campaign after undergoing offseason hip surgery. It's unclear when he will be ready to play, but he may not be a regular in the Islanders' lineup this year once he's healthy. He had eight goals, 15 points, 93 shots on net and 47 hits across 62 NHL regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Engvall will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks while recovering from offseason hip surgery, the Isles announced Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Engvall's recovery timeline, he should still be ready for Opening Night against the Penguins on Oct. 9, but he will need to avoid any setbacks. With the 29-year-old limited to just 62 regular-season tilts last year, he failed to reach the 10-goal mark for the first time since the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season. It also didn't help that Engvall ended the campaign mired in a nine-game goal drought. Even if he can stay healthy this season, the Swede will be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Engvall notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall has four goals and two assists over his last 10 contests. That's one of his better stretches of the season, a campaign that has seen him get waived to create roster flexibility, though he was able to avoid a trip to AHL Bridgeport. He's now at 14 points, 74 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-8 rating across 55 appearances, mostly in a bottom-six role.

Engvall scored two goals in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall got the Islanders on the board in the first period and put them ahead 3-2 in the second, but their offense cooled off after that. The 28-year-old winger has four goals and an assist over his last eight contests, which is one of his better stretches this season. He's up to eight goals, 13 points, 70 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-9 rating across 53 appearances.

Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall's finding a little more success on offense lately with three points over his last five games. He's played in nine straight contests, though he remains in a bottom-six role, so the scoring could dry up at any time. For the season, Engvall has just 11 points with 59 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-11 rating over 50 appearances.

Engvall scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

It stood as the winner. Engvall beat defender Ryan Graves to a loose puck in the left circle and wired a wrist shot past Tristan Jarry. He has really struggled offensively this season with just five goals and five assists in 47 games. While he has eight hits and 11 shots in his last four games, Engvall is neither a muscle guy nor a volume shooter. Bottom line: It's a nice game for a great guy, but it doesn't make him fantasy worthy.

Engvall logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched three times during that slump, but Sunday marked his fifth game in a row in the lineup, and he's seeing third-line usage currently. The 28-year-old winger is up to nine points, 51 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-10 rating over 46 appearances. Engvall doesn't do enough to help in most fantasy formats, even if he continues to see steady ice time.

Engvall scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Engvall ended a two-month point drought -- he had been held off the scoresheet in his last 17 outings while getting scratched six times in that span. The 28-year-old forward has eight points, 39 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-5 rating through 39 appearances this season. He was waived in December to create some roster flexibility but ultimately stayed with the Islanders and would require another pass through waivers to be assigned to AHL Bridgeport in the future.
