Simon Holmstrom - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

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

Impact 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 contract, but Holmstrom's contract 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.

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

Impact 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.

Heads to AHL Holmstrom was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Holmstrom's demotion could amount to a paper transaction after the Islanders activated Ryan Pulock (lower body) from long-term injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Holmstrom set up Julien Gauthier's opening goal in the first period before adding a second assist on Mike Reilly's shorthanded tally in the third. The two assists are the first of the season for Holmstrom, who now has points in three straight games -- he's totaled two goals and two assists in that span after tallying five goals through his first 20 contests. While he's been limited to a bottom-six role, Holmstrom is one of the Islanders' more intriguing young options, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him work his way into a more prominent spot in the lineup.

Scores in victory over Hurricanes Holmstrom netted a goal in a 5-4 overtime win against Carolina on Thursday.

Tickles twine again Thursday Holmstrom scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact The 22-year-old banged home a pass from Jean-Gabriel Pageau on the counter-attack early in the third period to tie the game at 2-2, but the Isles experienced another late collapse after that. Holmstrom has only four goals and zero assists in 11 games this season, but three of the tallies -- including two shorties -- have come in the first four games of November. The 2019 first-round pick showed a bit of an offensive spark at AHL Bridgeport a couple years ago, scoring 12 goals and 43 points over 68 games in 2021-22 as a 20-year-old, but as yet Holmstrom hasn't gotten many opportunities to make an impact in the NHL.
