EDGE Analysis
Holmberg produced seven goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 46 hits across 68 regular-season appearances with Toronto in 2024-25. He will likely occupy a bottom-six role with the Lightning in the 2025-26 campaign.

Holmberg was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Maple Leafs on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg's ice time over his three-year career with the Maple Leafs has crept up each year, and he hit a career-high 12:40 per game this past season. He finished the year with 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 68 games played as a key part of the Maple Leafs' bottom-six. Now an unrestricted free agent, he will likely have no trouble inking a contract with a new team to play a role in an NHL capacity once free agency opens.

Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg a 19-game goal drought with his first-period tally Sunday. In that span, he had three assists, 19 hits, 17 shots on net and 14 blocked shots. The 26-year-old has been in a fourth-line role lately, but he's occasionally moved up in the lineup when he's playing well. Holmberg is at 17 points over 66 contests, matching his 54-game output from 2023-24. He's added 66 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 43 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-3 rating in 2024-25.

Holmberg logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up the first of Nicholas Robertson's two goals in this game. The 26-year-old Holmberg looked ticketed for the press box prior to David Kampf (upper body) exiting the lineup. For now, Holmberg is holding down a fourth-line role. He's at 16 points -- one shy of his career high -- with 62 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 39 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 62 appearances.

Holmberg saw a season-low 7:38 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg had six points over five games between Feb. 22 and March 2, but he's put up just a single assist across his last 11 outings. His ice time has been trending downward as well, and he was even scratched for the two games prior to Saturday. The 26-year-old has seen time on the second line occasionally, but his current role is not fantasy friendly. He's at 15 points, 60 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-1 rating across 59 appearances.

Holmberg scored a goal, added two PIM and levied three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg continues to fit in well on the second line -- he has four goals, one assist and a plus-4 rating over three contests since moving into that role following the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 25-year-old's goal Tuesday was clutch -- he scored with 46 seconds left in the third period to force overtime, allowing Mitch Marner to play hero with the game-winner in the extra session. Holmberg is up to six goals, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 46 appearances this season. He's worth a look as a streamer, but be ready to let him go if he moves back into the bottom six.

Holmberg scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg has three goals and an assist over two games since the schedule resumed, though two of those tallies were empty-netters. Still, it's a massive improvement for the 25-year-old forward, who was limited to two assists over seven outings in January while missing time due to an illness. Holmberg's uptick in production corresponds with a move to the second line alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, and he may have a little extra fantasy value as long as he's in that spot. For the season, Holmberg is at five goals, 12 points, 46 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances.

Holmberg had two goals and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg was deployed on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, and he made the most of it. He got credit for an own-goal by Jordan Staal early in the first period. And then put in an empty-netter on a 2-on-1 with William Nylander to finish the game. Holmberg snapped a 17-game goal slump with the snipes. This game was lightning in a bottle for the winger. Don't overrate him.

Holmberg provided an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg has gotten a chance to center the second line in the absence of John Tavares (lower body), though Wednesday was the first time it led to a meaningful bump in ice time (19:31). The 25-year-old Holmberg is more of a defensive forward, so his scoring upside remains limited. He has eight points, 35 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 23 PIM and 17 hits over 39 contests in 2024-25.

Holmberg had a power-play assist, three shots on net and two blocks in Saturday's 7-3 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Holmberg got some rare playing time on the power play and picked up the secondary helper on a tally by Nicholas Robertson, who redirected a shot from the point with one second remaining on the penalty. It was Holmberg's first power-play point this season and the second of his career. The third-line winger has two goals and five assists over 35 outings this season.
