The Historical Aspect To Pierre Engvall's First Career Multi-Goal Game

New York Islanders forward Pierre Engvall scored twice in their 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday:

It was Engvall's first multi-goal game of his NHL career, coming in his 371st career NHL game. 

Per Eric Hornick's "The Skinny": Engvall's prior 63 goals had come in 63 different games, which matched the third-highest total in NHL history before a multi-goal game (Aaron Ekblad-68, Sandy McCarthy -66).  Engvall's four goals since the trade deadline are tied with Anders Lee and Bo Horvat for the club lead.

Engvall has been arguably one of the Islanders' better forwards the last few weeks as he tries to end what's been a shaky season on a good note with a questionable future ahead. 

Engvall is in the second season of a seven-year deal worth $3 million annually and has 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 53 games.
