He has played 45 games for the Rocket, scoring 10 goals and adding 25 assists. This was not an emergency recall, so it does not appear that there was a corresponding injury. What this may tell us is that the experiment of Arber Xhekaj playing forward may continue.<\/p>\n<p>After missing a few games with an injury, Engstr\u00f6m returned to the Rocket lineup and will serve as depth for the Canadiens.
