Englund scored a goal on one shot with five hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
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 2024-25 with just one goal over six NHL seasons. He's filled in for Joel Edmundson (personal) over the last two games and has logged nine hits in his two starts.

Kings' Andreas Englund: Delivers helper in loss
Rotowire
Englund recorded an assist in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Englund registered his first point since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games during the regular season, 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 be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

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

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

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

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

Blackhawks' Andreas Englund: Remains sidelined
Rotowire
Englund (hamstring) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus Washington, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Despite joining the Blackhawks in D.C., Englund will miss a seventh straight game with his hamstring injury Thursday. The 27-year-old defender has collected just three points through 41 games split between the Avalanche and Chicago this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his status.

Blackhawks' Andreas Englund: Expected to miss 1-2 weeks
Rotowire
Englund (hamstring) is slated to miss between 1-2 weeks coach Luke Richardson told reporters Wednesday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Englund was already ruled out for the team's upcoming three-game road trip but this latest timeline would see to extend that potential return date. In five games since being acquired by Chicago at the trade deadline, the 27-year-old defenseman has yet to register a pint but has recorded six shots, 16 hits and five blocks while averaging just 13:53 of ice time.

Blackhawks' Andreas Englund: Suffers pulled hamstring
Rotowire
Englund pulled a hamstring during Monday's loss to Ottawa and won't travel with the Blackhawks for the team's upcoming three-game road trip, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Given the expected length of his absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Englund end up on injured reserve in the coming days. Either way, the 27-year-old blueliner has collected only three assists in 41 games split between Colorado and Chicago this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his availability.

Blackhawks' Andreas Englund: Dealing with lower-body issue
Rotowire
Englund (lower body) isn't practicing Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Englund exited Monday's win over Ottawa with a lower-body issue. The 27-year-old defender has collected just three helpers in 41 games split between the Avalanche and the Blackhawks this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his availability.

Avalanche's Andreas Englund: Earns praise from coach
Rotowire
Englund filled in for an injured Erik Johnson on Saturday and earned praise from Colorado head coach Jared Bednar, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports. "I thought he was great," Bednar said. "Solid, really solid defensively. The defending on his half of the ice has been really good, and especially in that game.
The Avalanche are dealing with three injuries on the back end, as Johnson joined injured mates Cale Makar (head) and Josh Manson (lower body). None of the three will play Tuesday against Tampa Bay, which means Englund could play an enhanced role again. His biggest contribution has been as a physical presence, averaging nearly three hits per game and being an instigator at times. Englund has three points (all assists), 88 hits, 17 blocked shots and 26 PIM while averaging 11:14 TOI over 30 games.

Avalanche's Andreas Englund: Returns to lineup
Rotowire
Englund had two shots on goal, five hits and one blocked shot over 8:39 of ice time in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Lightning.
Englund was a healthy scratch Tuesday when the Avalanche resumed play following the midseason break, but he was needed Thursday as Colorado played without its best defenseman, Cale Makar (upper body). Makar will also miss Saturday's contest against Florida, so Englund and his hit machine (86 hits in 29 games) should be in the lineup again.

Avalanche's Andreas Englund: Garners point in return
Rotowire
Englund had an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a five-minute major penalty over 12:03 of ice time in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Senators.
Englund, who was a healthy scratch the previous three games, returned to the ice and notched his second point in as many games. Offense is not his forte, but an aggressive nature is. Englund is second on the Avalanche with 73 hits in just 21 games and tied with Kurtis MacDermid for the team lead with three fights.

Avalanche's Andreas Englund: Puts up rare helper
Rotowire
Englund notched an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
The helper was Englund's first point in 16 games during his current stint with the big club. The 26-year-old plays a very limited role on the third pairing when in the lineup, so it's no surprise he doesn't generate much offense. He has two helpers, 69 hits, 11 blocked shots, 14 PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 20 contests this season.
