Forwards Pierre Engvall and Oliver Wahlstrom were both placed on waivers, likely a prelude to clearing their salaries in order to activate Mathew Barzal and/or Anthony Duclair off long-term injured reserve. Defenseman Adam Pelech also remains on injured reserve.

Following their 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, the New York Islanders placed forwards Pierre Engvall and Oliver Wahlstrom on waivers on Friday. The moves clear $2.15 million in cap space for the team. With Engvall's cap hit buried, $1.15 million will remain on the salary cap, while Wahlstrom's $1 million will be cleared.

Friday afternoon in the NHL saw a trio of moves on the waiver wire. Beginning in Long Island, the New York Islanders placed 28-year-old left winger Pierre Engvall on waivers.
