Biography

Engblom was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and played for the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He was drafted 22nd overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1975 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first two professional seasons with Montreal's AHL affiliate Nova Scotia Voyageurs before playing in his first NHL game in the 1977 Stanley Cup playoffs with Montreal. He won two Stanley Cups, in 1978, and 1979 with the Canadiens. Engblom's name was left off the Cup in 1977 because he played no regular season games. He played in two playoff games and did not play in the finals.

In 1982, while Engblom was establishing himself as a top NHL defenseman, he was involved in a blockbuster trade that saw him, Doug Jarvis, Rod Langway and Craig Laughlin dealt to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Rick Green and Ryan Walter. A season later, he was dealt with Ken Houston to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for future Hall Of Famer Larry Murphy. He finished his career with stints for the Buffalo Sabres, and Calgary Flames. Engblom's final NHL season of 1986–87 ended prematurely due to bone spurs in his spinal column that required major surgery to repair.[1] In 11 seasons, Engblom scored 29 goals and 177 assists.

Broadcasting career

Engblom was an NHL studio analyst and color commentator for ESPN and NHL on ABC from 1993 to 2004, and also worked for NBC after they acquired NHL TV rights in 2004. During the 2005-06 season, he was color analyst for Columbus Blue Jackets games aired on Fox Sports Ohio. Currently, he works as a color analyst for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sun Sports, and NHL telecasts for the NBC Sports Network. Engblom has also provided post-game analysis for the Colorado Avalanche on Altitude Sports and Entertainment, in rotation with Mark Rycroft.

Engblom joined the Tampa Bay Lightning for the 2015-16 season as color analyst alongside Rick Peckham, and later with Dave Randorf, replacing Bobby Taylor, who moved to studio host.[2]
