To call Engellend for 3rd man would have required there to be a 2nd man in the fight and Frolik was not fighting.

Itīs the NHL, you never know what they will do or call. For the life of me I still do not understand how in the playoffs against Vancouver no one Canuck was called or suspended at end of the game when Dorsett and Hamhius got theirs handed to them by Engelland. That is the definition of a third man entering a fight. Literally.
