Playing career

Engvall made his Swedish Hockey League debut during the 2014–15 season appearing in 2 regular season games. On 8 May 2015, Engvall signed a contract with Mora IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv). After a successful breakout season with Mora in the 2015–16 season, Engvall signed a contract extension to remain with the club.[1]

Following the completion of his second full year with Mora IK, Engvall travelled to North America and agreed to sign an amateur try-out contract for the completion of the 2016–17 season with the Maple Leafs American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies on 12 April 2017.[2] He appeared in one post-season game with the Marlies before opting to return to Sweden in signing a two-year contract with the reigning champions, HV71, in a return to the SHL on 7 May 2017.[3]

In his first full SHL season in 2017–18, Engvall despite missing games to injury produced 20 points in just 31 appearances for HV71. After an early post-season exit, Engvall for a second consecutive year agreed to a try-out to join the Toronto Marlies for the remainder of their season on 21 March 2018.[4] While in the midst of the Marlies playoff campaign, Engvall agreed to a two-year, entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on 18 May 2018.[5] He played his first game with the Leafs on 19 November 2019, in a 4–2 loss against the Vegas Golden Knights.[6] Engvall scored his first NHL goal with the Leafs on 21 November 2019, a short-handed goal in a 3–1 road win against the Arizona Coyotes.[7] Midway through his first season in the NHL, Engvall signed a two-year, $2.5 million extension with the Maple Leafs.[8]

On 28 February 2023, the Maples Leafs traded Engvall to the New York Islanders in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.[9]

On July 1, 2023, Engvall signed a seven-year, $21 million contract extension with the Islanders.[10]
