The New York Islanders' playoff aspirations suffered a serious blow after a fifth straight loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. However, Pierre Engvall's two-goal performance during the match stands out as a silver lining. Engvall, often criticized and benched by head coach Patrick Roy, demonstrated significant improvement. This was his first multi-goal game, marking a turnaround in his form after a lackluster previous season. With four goals in his last seven games, Engvall appears to find synergy with his line partners, Casey Cizikas and Hudson Fasching, potentially reigniting his career.
"It's easy to read where the puck is going. I enjoy playing with Fasching and Cizikas. They're working really hard and making it easy for everyone out there."
"I think our line was working really hard and was down there in the offensive zone a lot. It felt good to score and to do it twice."
