Pontus Holmberg - NHL News & Rumors

Fills empty cage Holmberg scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Impact With the empty-netter, Holmberg has set a career high in goals with eight. He's netted seven of those tallies in his last 18 games, adding two assists, 26 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 26-year-old has done a fine job as a bottom-six forward in his first year with the Lightning, earning 15 points, 52 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 40 outings overall. He's on a career-best pace, but that's still not enough to gain attention in most fantasy formats.

Scores in third straight game Holmberg scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Impact Holmberg found the back of the net at the 1:40 mark of the third period with a tip-in, giving the Bolts a 4-1 lead, although they'd end up waiting until the shootout to get the victory. Holmberg is trending in the right direction and has scored in three straight while cracking the scoresheet in his last four outings. 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.

Three-game point streak Holmberg score a goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Holmberg got a breakaway after Tampa Bay jumped on a Florida turnover in the neutral zone with seconds left in the third period. It was a huge boost heading into the dressing room with a 2-1 lead racked up with just :08 on the clock. Holmberg is on a modest three-game, three-point scoring streak that includes two goals and five shots. Overall, his five goals and six assists in 30 games played make him a better option for the wire than a fantasy roster.

Finds twine in win Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Holmberg has trended up lately with three goals and an assist over his last seven games. The 26-year-old is still in a bottom-six role, which makes any productive stretch tough to sustain. He's at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating through 29 outings overall, putting him on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his four-year career.

Tallies again Thursday Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Devils.

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. Holmberg is at three goals, eight points, 30 shots on net, 26 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 24 appearances this season. Even with time lost to an undisclosed injury, he's on pace to top the 20-point mark for the first time in his career.

Plucks apple in return Holmberg notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Holmberg missed the previous seven games due to an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old was reunited with Yanni Gourde and Zemgus Girgensons, and the trio assisted on Girgensons' first-period tally. Holmberg should continue to fill a bottom-six role moving forward. He's at six points, 17 shots on net, 19 hits, eight blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 16 appearances.

Removed from IR Holmberg (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Calgary, per the NHL media site.

Impact Holmberg is returning following a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to his undisclosed injury. With the 26-year-old winger back to 100 percent, he will step into a third-line role while Brayden Point (undisclosed) remains on the shelf. On the year, Holmberg has managed just one goal in 15 contests while adding four helpers, which shouldn't come as a huge surprise considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his four-year NHL career.

Impact While a clear timetable for Holmberg's return hasn't yet been revealed, it's at least encouraging that he seems to be trending in the right direction after landing on injured reserve in mid-November. Holmberg appeared in 15 games prior to sustaining his injury, and he recorded a goal, four assists, 18 hits, 10 PIM and seven blocked shots while averaging 12:24 of ice time.

Impact Holmberg is set to miss at least one game after sitting out practices Sunday and Tuesday. The 26-year-old joins Anthony Cirelli (upper body) as forwards to exit the lineup. Scott Sabourin and Boris Katchouk were recalled Tuesday to help fill out the Lightning's lineup for Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed day-to-day Holmberg (undisclosed) is day-to-day after missing Tuesday's practice, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Holmberg also didn't participate in Monday's session, making his availability for Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers unclear. He has collected one goal, four assists, 15 shots on net and 18 hits across 15 appearances this season. If Holmberg doesn't play versus the Rangers, Curtis Douglas could draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last three games.
