Pontus Holmberg - 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.

This was the third time he's avoided letting a skid reach three contests, as he and Dominic James set up each other's goals to lead the Lightning's offense Sunday. Guentzel is up to 21 goals, 49 points, 127 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 21 PIM, 20 hits and a plus-9 rating over 47 appearances.

He helped out on power-play tallies by Nikita Kucherov and Oliver Bjorkstrand in this contest. Raddysh continues to play a massive role, especially with the man advantage, in the absence of Victor Hedman (elbow). For the season, Raddysh has career highs in goals (12), points (41), power-play points (15) and plus-minus rating (plus-17) while adding 97 shots on net, 38 hits and 37 blocked shots across 40 appearances.

While he's in a bottom-six role at even strength, Bjorkstrand's usage with the man advantage remains significant in keeping his offense afloat.
