Holmstrom scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

This was Holmstrom's first multi-point game of the season, and he's definitively trending in the right direction after failing to make an impact in the first three weeks of the campaign. He posted just two points (both assists) in 10 regular-season appearances in October, but he's notched two goals and three assists in five outings since the calendar flipped to November.

Holmstrom scored a power-play goal on his only shot in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Holmstrom initiated the Islanders' comeback effort by roofing a backhand top shelf to cut Pittsburgh's lead to one at 9:41 of the third period. It was the 23-year-old's first power-play marker of his career. The Swedish forward is riding a three-game point streak consisting of one goal and two assists after registering a meager two assists over his first 10 outings. Overall, Holmstrom is up to five points (one goal), four PIM, nine shots, six hits, eight blocks and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances while filling a third-line role and spot on the second power-play unit.

EDGE Analysis

Holmstrom started the season with two assists over three contests before suffering through a seven-game slump. The 23-year-old winger has filled a middle-six role, averaging 15:18 of ice time over 11 appearances, nearly two minutes more than he had last year in a 25-point regular season. Aside from modest offense, the Swede doesn't add much else -- he has six shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in 2024-25.

Holmstrom signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Islanders on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Holmstrom and the Islanders were able to work out a deal outside of his qualifying offer, which would have paid him marginally more. That would have been a two-way agreement, but the contract Holmstrom penned instead is a one-way deal, which suggests the team has faith in the winger spending most of the year in the NHL. He produced 25 points over 75 regular-season outings in 2023-24, playing mainly in a middle-six role, though he also shot 20.8 percent, which makes him a candidate for regression.

Holmstrom scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

After setting up Brock Nelson for the Islanders' first tally of the night early in the first period, Holmstrom broke a 4-4 tie late in the third by firing the puck past Alex Nedeljkovic after the Penguins couldn't clear the zone. It's Holmstrom's first multi-point performance since Dec. 5, and while the 22-year-old winger will take a bit of momentum into the postseason, his 15 goals and 25 points through 75 games in his first full NHL campaign don't give him a lot of fantasy appeal.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Holmstrom's demotion could amount to a paper transaction after the Islanders activated Ryan Pulock (lower body) from long-term injured reserve Saturday. If that's the case, Holmstrom could be back with the big club ahead of Monday's game versus the Maple Leafs. He has produced 18 points in 48 contests this season.
