He has six goals and 12 points in 31 games so far, so it's safe to say he's riding through his most productive stretch of the campaign.

Impact Holmberg has scored in back-to-back contests. The 26-year-old is slotting into a third-line role with Yanni Gourde and Zemgus Girgensons as linemates, though that's a trio that will often focus more on their own zone than on offense.
