Andreas Englund - NHL News & Rumors

Claimed off waivers Nashville claimed Englund off waivers from the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Englund has one goal, four shots on net, seven blocked shots and 20 hits in 11 appearances this season. He was a healthy scratch in 13 straight games before landing on waivers. Englund could see more playing time with the Predators, especially if Adam Wilsby (upper body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) remain unavailable after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Lands on waivers Englund was put on waivers Sunday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Englund has been a healthy scratch for 13 straight games and might benefit from seeing some playing time in the minors if he clears waivers. He has generated one goal, four shots on net, seven blocked shots and 20 hits in 11 appearances this season.

Still struggling to join lineup Englund was scratched for a sixth straight game in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Englund played three times earlier in January when Joel Edmundson was unavailable. However, Englund has since returned to being a frequent healthy scratch, and his path to the lineup has gotten even tougher since the Kings have resumed playing just six blueliners. Drew Doughty (ankle) is also nearing his season debut. While the Kings could take an unconventional approach and carry nine defensemen on the active roster for a while, ultimately one of Englund, Kyle Burroughs or Jacob Moverare will likely need to be waived eventually. Given Englund's limited playing time and uninspiring play, there's a good chance he could be the odd man out.

Can't get into lineup Englund has been scratched for 17 straight games dating back to Nov. 13.

Impact Even with the Kings routinely deploying seven defensemen lately, Englund hasn't been able to get into the lineup. Kyle Burroughs has instead filled the role of enforcer while dressing as the seventh blueliner, while Englund remains a veteran capable of stepping in at a moment's notice. Over eight contests this season, he has one goal, four shots on net, 12 PIM and 17 hits while averaging 11:48 of ice time. He doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy as long as he's stuck in the press box.

Getting short end of playing time Englund has been scratched for seven of the Kings' first 10 games in November after sitting out Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Englund doesn't add much outside of toughness, and his ice time has been under 10 minutes in each of his last three appearances. The Kings have been more willing to give Jacob Moverare a look on the third pairing. Englund has a goal, 17 hits, 12 PIM and five blocked shots over eight outings this season, and with another tough guy in Kyle Burroughs also on the outside looking in, Englund's unlikely to see steady playing time.

Fills in, scores in win Englund scored a goal on one shot with five hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Englund's wrister caught Sam Montembeault leaning the wrong way to give the Kings a 3-1 lead late in the third period. It was the first goal of the season for Englund, who entered the season with just one goal over six NHL seasons. He's filled in for Joel Edmundson (personal) the last two games and has logged nine hits in his two starts.

Delivers helpers in loss Englund recorded an assist in Game 5's 4-3 defeat to Edmonton.

Impact Englund registered his first points since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games this year, the 28-year-old blueliner managed one goal and nine helpers, reaching the 10-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy players probably shouldn't;t be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Provides rare assist Englund produced an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Englund's offensive contributions remain limited -- he has just three assists over 18 games since the start of February. The 28-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, but with the Kings favoring seven-defensemen lineups lately, his usage has decreased a bit. It's still been a career year for Englund, who has 10 points, 35 shots on net, 158 hits, 73 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 outings.

Surfaces with helper Englund posted an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Englund's secondary assist led to the Kings' first goal, and it marked his first point since Nov. 29. He's unlocked offensive career highs by virtue of playing more often than ever, adding a goal and seven assists through 52 games, but Englund's 57 blocked shots and 128 hits are the more significant metrics from a player evaluation standpoint.

Offers helper Englund notched an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Englund has an assist in each of the last two games after going four contests without a point. The 27-year-old has made the most of his regular role on the Kings' third pairing, earning seven points with 45 hits, 20 blocked shots, a plus-8 rating and 29 PIM through 20 outings this season. His toughness and passable offense could make him an option for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Nets first NHL goal Englund scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact It was a long journey to the goal for Englund -- he'd produced just nine helpers over his first 88 career contests for four different teams since his debut in 2016-17. The defenseman got a little help here, as his shot deflected in off a Toronto player. Englund has already matched his career high in points this season with three through nine contests, and he's added two shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 27-year-old has held down a third-pairing role, but a run of poor play could see him replaced by Tobias Bjornfot.

Puts up helper Englund logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Englund has two assists over his last three games, which accounts for all of his offense this season. The 27-year-old has added 16 hits, five blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating as a physical presence on the Kings' third pairing. His ice time remains limited, as does his offensive potential, and a run of poor play could open the door for Tobias Bjornfot to replace Englund in the lineup.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Kings Englund signed a two-year, $2 million contract with LA on Saturday, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

Impact Englund had four assists, 133 hits and 33 blocks in 47 games between Colorado and Chicago while averaging 12:07 of ice time last season. He'll probably serve as the sixth or seventh defenseman on the Kings' depth charts.
