So Engstrom did exactly what he needed to do, which was to put his name in the conversation among the Habs’ young defensemen.
As Eric Engels explained in his excellent article, Adam Engstrom was able to find his rhythm in the game and make a name for himself in order to put himself on the same level as his competition in the Habs’ organization chart.
Engstrom’s goal gave him more confidence to keep the puck on his stick longer and stand out from his opponents.
