Holmstrom signed a two-year, $7.25 million contract with the Islanders on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom will get a significant raise from his $800,000 salary last year. The 24-year-old certainly earned it, logging 20 goals and 45 points over 75 regular-season games while serving in an all-situations role in the Islanders' middle six. The 24-year-old should see similar deployment in 2025-26.

Holmstrom produced two goals and two assists, one while shorthanded, and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom extended his point streak to three games in this high-scoring tilt. This was his first four-point performance of his career. Holmstrom continues to be one of New York's lone bright spots in 2024-25, as he's set career highs with 20 goals and 24 assists over 70 appearances. The 23-year-old has added 89 shots on goal and a plus-10 rating while averaging 16:58 of ice time, a big jump from the 13:19 he managed in 2023-24.

Holmstrom provided an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom has a goal and an assist over his last two contests after ending a five-game skid. He set up Bo Horvat's goal at 7:06 of the first period in Sunday's win. Holmstrom's recent skid has taken some of the shine off of his 2024-25 campaign, but he's made a big leap on offense by reaching the 40-point mark (18 goals, 22 assists) in 69 outings after being limited to 15 goals and 10 helpers in 75 games a year ago. Holmstrom has added 87 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating and has grown into a productive all-situations winger in his age-23 season.

Holmstrom scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally, which was the game-winner. The 23-year-old's recent slump has stunted his momentum, but he still has a plausible chance at the 20-goal and 40-point marks. He's produced 18 goals, 39 points, 86 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 68 outings this season.

Holmstrom scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom tallied the lone goal of the second period on a power-play feed from Noah Dobson. The 23-year-old Holmstrom is up to 17 goals, 37 points and 78 shots on net in 61 appearances this season. With Thursday's tally, Holmstrom has a goal in each of his last three games. The young winger's third season at the NHL level has been another step in the right direction in both his goal-scoring and playmaking ability. Holmstrom has solid value as a streaming option in deeper leagues if he can continue providing for the offense while on New York's top line and power-play unit.

Holmstrom scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom scored an empty-netter for the second game in a row, and he led all Islanders forwards with 20:38 of ice time. It's a further sign of trust from head coach Patrick Roy to have Holmstrom on the ice to protect a lead late in the game. The winger still hasn't scored on a goalie since Feb. 7 versus the Jets, but he has six points over nine outings in March. He's at a career-high 16 goals, 20 assists and 77 shots on net through 60 appearances this season.

Holmstrom scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom ended an 11-game goal drought with an empty-netter to secure this win for the Islanders. In that span, he was limited to four assists and 18 shots on net, but it hasn't cost him his place in the top six. The 23-year-old winger was on the first line Sunday, logging 20:40 of ice time while playing left wing alongside Bo Horvat and Kyle Palmieri. Holmstrom is at 15 goals -- matching his total from last year -- and has now earned 35 points with 74 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 59 appearances.

Holmstrom recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom set up Anthony Duclair's power-play tally in the first period and an even-strength goal by Anders Lee in the third. This was Holmstrom's second two-assist effort over four games in March. The 23-year-old winger has quietly been one of the Islanders' top players this season, earning 34 points, 69 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 55 appearances. It's not enough production for all fantasy formats, but he's at least worth considering in many of them -- the only real knock on his game is a lack of shot volume.

Holmstrom logged two assists in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom helped out on both of Brock Nelson's tallies in the second period. The first one was a shorthanded goal, and the second stood as the game-winner. Holmstrom had been limited to one goal over his previous seven outings, and his last multi-point effort was Feb. 1 against the Lightning. Despite the recent downturn on offense, he remains in a top-six role. The 23-year-old winger is up to 32 points (three on the power play, three shorthanded), 65 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 52 appearances. Holmstrom's increased success as a defensive winger has helped him maintain a prominent place in the lineup, though he's also enjoying a career year on offense.

Holmstrom scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Holmstrom has done well to maintain a middle-six role lately, earning five goals and three assists over 10 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger doesn't see much power-play time, which is likely to limit his ability to sustain his recent scoring pace. He's now at 30 points, 54 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 47 outings this season.
