Pontus Holmberg - NHL News & Rumors

Point streak at three games Holmberg scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Vancouver.

Impact The goal stretched his point streak to three games and three points (one goal, two assists). Holmberg has seven shots in that span. He's off to a strong start to the season, and he's on a career pace. Holmberg's best-ever offensive season came last year in Tampa Bay when he put up 11 goals and 11 assists (90 shots) in 70 games. So far, he has two goals and three assists in eight games, and he has already put up 14 shots which puts him on pace for almost 150 on the season. We don't think Holmberg will keep up his current 50-plus point pace, but a new career high is certainly within reach.

Two points including game-winner Monday Holmberg scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact The 27-year-old gave the Lightning a 2-0 lead just 17 seconds into the second period, ripping a shot from the faceoff circle past Dan Vladar to convert a 3-on-1 break. The points were Holmberg's first of the season in three games, as the bottom-six forward looks to match or improve on a career-best 2025-26 campaign in which he managed 11 goals and 22 points in 70 regular-season contests.

Set to be available for start of season Holmberg (collarbone) is expected to be available for the start of the 2026-27 season, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports Wednesday.

Impact General manager Julien BriseBois listed several players Wednesday who aren't expected to be available to begin the campaign, and Holmberg wasn't mentioned after he missed the end of the 2025-26 campaign due to a fractured clavicle. Prior to his injury, Holmberg appeared in a career-high 70 regular-season games during his first year with the Lightning, and he recorded 11 goals, 11 assists, 66 hits, 31 blocked shots and 31 PIM while averaging 13:21 of ice time.

Recovering from fractured clavicle Holmberg sustained a fractured clavicle against Buffalo on April 6, per Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay News on Tuesday.

Impact While an exact timeline for Holmberg's return never materialized, this type of injury can take 6-12 weeks to recover from. He has plenty of time to heal now that Tampa Bay has been eliminated from the playoffs, and he should be available for training camp in the fall. Holmberg had 11 goals, 22 points, 90 shots on net and 66 hits across 70 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Won't play in first round Holmberg (upper body) isn't expected to be an option during the Lightning's first-round series against Montreal, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Holmberg hasn't played since April 6 because of the injury. He finished the regular season with 11 goals and 22 points in 70 outings. If Holmberg is able to join later in Tampa Bay's playoff run, he will likely enter the lineup as a part of the bottom six.
