Engvall, Holl, Pelletier among notable players on waivers

New York Islanders forward Pierre Engvall, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Justin Holl, and Calgary Flames forward Jakob Pelletier were among the notable players placed on waivers Sunday.

Engvall, 28, has six seasons left on a seven-year, $21-million contract signed last summer. He notched 10 goals and 28 points in 74 games last season.

Maxim Tsyplakov beat Engvall for a top-six role. The Islanders didn't think Engvall would be effective on their fourth line, general manager Lou Lamoriello said, according to Newsday's Andrew Gross.

Holl, 32, recorded only five assists in 38 contests last season. He has two years left at a $3.4-million cap hit.

Pelletier, 23, was drafted by the Flames 26th overall in 2019. He has 10 points in 37 contests in his NHL career. Pelletier has 48 goals and 11 points in 119 AHL games over three seasons.
