The Colorado Eagles announced the addition of Andreas Englund on July 28, making Englund their seventh defenseman going into the 2021-22 season.

Englund, originally from Sweden, played a stint with the Ottawa Senators from 2016-2020 after being drafted by Ottawa in 2014 as the 40th overall pick. In the 2019-20 campaign, Englund appeared in 24 games with the Senators, notching three assists and three points on the season.
