The Montreal Canadiens have made a roster move, as they have recalled defenseman Adam Engstrom from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Laval Rocket.<\/p>\n
Engstrom has played in his first 11 NHL games this season with the Canadiens, where he has recorded zero points, four hits, five blocks, six penalty minutes, and a plus-3 rating. Now, after landing this latest call-up to the Canadiens’ roster, he will be looking to make an impact.<\/p>\n

Engstrom has certainly shown promise this season with Laval, as he has had a strong season with the AHL club. In 45 games with Laval this campaign, he has 10 goals, 24 assists, 34 points, and a plus-14 rating. This is after he had five goals, 22 assists, 27 points, and a plus-14 rating in 66 games for the AHL club during this past season.<\/p>\n
Engstrom was selected by the Canadiens with the 92nd overall pick of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old blueliner has the potential to become a solid NHL defenseman as he continues to gain more experience.<\/p>\n
In 111 career AHL games over two seasons, Engstrom has 15 goals, 46 assists, 61 points, and a plus-28 rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Montreal Canadiens have made a roster move, as they have recalled defenseman Adam Engstrom from their American…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5103],"tags":[6167,3690,265,5,264,21,5147,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-532316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-montreal-canadiens","8":"tag-adam-engstrom","9":"tag-american-hockey-league","10":"tag-canadiens","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-montreal","13":"tag-montreal-canadiens","14":"tag-montrealcanadiens","15":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116322015869300905","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
