  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Finishes off comeback win

    Holmstrom scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

    Holmstrom scored an empty-netter for the second game in a row, and he led all Islanders forwards with 20:38 of ice time. It's a further sign of trust from head coach Patrick Roy to have Holmstrom on the ice to protect a lead late in the game. The winger still hasn't scored on a goalie since Feb. 7 versus the Jets, but he has six points over nine outings in March. He's at a career-high 16 goals, 20 assists and 77 shots on net through 60 appearances this season.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Pots empty-netter Sunday

    Holmstrom scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

    Holmstrom ended an 11-game goal drought with an empty-netter to secure this win for the Islanders. In that span, he was limited to four assists and 18 shots on net, but it hasn't cost him his place in the top six. The 23-year-old winger was on the first line Sunday, logging 20:40 of ice time while playing left wing alongside Bo Horvat and Kyle Palmieri. Holmstrom is at 15 goals -- matching his total from last year -- and has now earned 35 points with 74 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 59 appearances.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Dishes pair of helpers in win

    Holmstrom recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Holmstrom set up Anthony Duclair's power-play tally in the first period and an even-strength goal by Anders Lee in the third. This was Holmstrom's second two-assist effort over four games in March. The 23-year-old winger has quietly been one of the Islanders' top players this season, earning 34 points, 69 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 55 appearances. It's not enough production for all fantasy formats, but he's at least worth considering in many of them -- the only real knock on his game is a lack of shot volume.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Produces two assists in win

    Holmstrom logged two assists in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Predators.

    Holmstrom helped out on both of Brock Nelson's tallies in the second period. The first one was a shorthanded goal, and the second stood as the game-winner. Holmstrom had been limited to one goal over his previous seven outings, and his last multi-point effort was Feb. 1 against the Lightning. Despite the recent downturn on offense, he remains in a top-six role. The 23-year-old winger is up to 32 points (three on the power play, three shorthanded), 65 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 52 appearances. Holmstrom's increased success as a defensive winger has helped him maintain a prominent place in the lineup, though he's also enjoying a career year on offense.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Scores in Friday's loss

    Holmstrom scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Holmstrom has done well to maintain a middle-six role lately, earning five goals and three assists over 10 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger doesn't see much power-play time, which is likely to limit his ability to sustain his recent scoring pace. He's now at 30 points, 54 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 47 outings this season.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Provides pair of helpers

    Holmstrom notched two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning.

    Holmstrom has three goals and three helpers over his last three contests. In Saturday's game, the 23-year-old winger assisted on goals by defensemen Adam Boqvist and Tony DeAngelo. Holmstrom's play has taken a step up in 2024-25 -- he's now at 29 points, 53 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 44 appearances in a middle-six role. Due to his recent success, Holmstrom could fill a depth role in fantasy lineups.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Stays hot with goal

    Holmstrom scored a goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

    Holmstrom opened the scoring at 10:02 of the second period, and his tally stood as the game-winner. He has four goals and an assist over six outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. The Islanders have a lot of players competing for bottom-six minutes, but Holmstrom has bought himself some separation from the pack with his strong play recently. The winger is at 13 goals, 27 points, 50 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 43 contests this season.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Three points against Avs

    Holmstrom scored two goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Colorado.

    All three points came in the third period as the Islanders broke open a 1-1 tie. Holmstrom hadn't had a multi-point performance since Dec. 21, and his middle-six role and lack of consistent power-play time makes his production erratic. On the season, the 2019 first-round pick has 12 goals and a career-high 26 points through 42 appearances.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Tallies shorthanded game-winner

    Holmstrom scored a shorthanded goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Holmstrom's shortie at 2:57 of the second period stood as the game-winner. This was his second game back after he missed seven contests due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old forward has 10 goals, 13 helpers, 45 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 39 appearances. He's emerging as a decent two-way forward, and he needs just two more points to match his production from 75 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Removed from IR

    Holmstrom (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    Holmstrom appears ready to return from a seven-game absence against San Jose on Saturday. He has collected nine goals, 22 points, 42 shots on net and 28 blocked shots across 37 outings this season. Holmstrom will replace Matt Martin or Marc Gatcomb in Saturday's lineup.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Game-time call Saturday

    Holmstrom (upper body) will be a game-time decision Saturday against San Jose, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Holmstrom has missed the Islanders' last seven contests, though it appears he has a shot to return Saturday. The 23-year-old winger has nine goals and 22 points in 37 games this season.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Could return Saturday

    Head coach Patrick Roy said Friday that Holmstrom (upper body) could return to action against the Sharks on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Holmstrom has been dealing with his upper-body injury since the end of December, but he could return to action following a seven-game absence. Over 37 appearances this year, he's logged nine goals, 13 assists, 28 blocked shots, 10 hits and six PIM while averaging 16:31 of ice time.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Placed on injured reserve

    Holmstrom (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Holmstrom has already missed the required number of days assuming the team used a retroactive designation, so this move shouldn't impact his recovery timeline. Still, it seems unlikely the 23-year-old winger will be in action versus the Knights on Thursday and probably should be expected to miss both legs of the Isles' two-game road trip.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Remains day-to-day

    Holmstrom (upper body) didn't practice Saturday and likely won't be an option to play against Boston on Sunday, Cory Wright of the Islanders' official site reports.

    Holmstrom is still day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He has registered nine goals, 22 points, 42 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 37 appearances this season. Due to Holmstrom's absence, Pierre Engvall will presumably remain in Sunday's lineup.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Won't play Thursday

    Holmstrom (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Maple Leafs.

    Holmstrom sustained an upper-body injury Sunday against the Penguins and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Pierre Engvall will likely continue to suit up against the Maple Leafs, while Holmstrom remains day-to-day, and his next opportunity to suit up will be on the road against Boston on Sunday.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Contending with injury

    Holmstrom is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.

    Holmstrom will miss his first game of the season due to the injury. The Swedish forward is on his way to posting new career highs in goals, assists and points in 2024-25. Pierre Engvall, who has been a healthy scratch in four consecutive games, will draw into the lineup Tuesday against Toronto.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Snags assist in win

    Holmstrom posted an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Holmstrom has two goals and five helpers over his last six contests. That warm stretch coincides with more consistent top-six minutes and a spot on the power play. The winger is up to 22 points, 41 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 36 appearances this season. Holmstrom's rise hasn't exactly been meteoric, but he does enough of the little things right to keep this spot, and the offense is sufficient to fill a depth spot in fantasy.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Six points in last four games

    Holmstrom picked up two assists in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

    He has two goals and four assists in his last four games, giving him nine tallies and 21 points through 34 appearances this season. He had a career-high 25 points in 75 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he's on pace to flirt with a 50-point performance in 2024-25. Holmstrom's versatility is serving him well, and his role with the team has expanded.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Pots goal Sunday

    Holmstrom scored a goal on two shots and went plus-1 in 16:26 of ice time Sunday in a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Holmstrom was on the receiving end of a pass from Pierre Engvall that banked off the former's skate past Arvid Soderblom early in the second period. Holmstrom has produced two goals and two assists over the last two games after registering just one helper across his previous five outings. The Swedish winger has been relatively productive in a third-line role and on the No. 2 power-play unit -- he's up to nine goals and 19 points (four on the man advantage) through 32 games. Holmstrom is shooting at a 25.0 percent clip, though, which is likely to regress over the course of the season.
