Impact Holtz had a five-game point streak snapped versus Utah on Saturday, but he bounced back quickly. He helped out on Noah Hanifin's game-winning goal with 49 seconds left in the third period of Wednesday's contest. Holtz is up to six points, 22 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances in a third-line role this season.

Extends streak with helper Holtz logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Holtz's point streak is up to five games (one goal, four assists). He appears to be benefiting from playing alongside William Karlsson at even strength. Holtz has added 16 shots on net, four hits and an even plus-minus rating over 11 appearances this season, and while his track record of success on offense is short, he's got some breakout potential in a deep forward group.

Point streak at four games Holtz recorded an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Holtz has earned a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. The winger looks to be meshing well with William Karlsson right away, which should help Holtz maintain a third-line role. Holtz has added 14 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests, so he'll need to keep scoring to generate additional fantasy value.

Deals helper in win Holtz provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Holtz played on a new-look third line with William Karlsson and Tanner Pearson at even strength. This was Holtz's third straight game with a point, accounting for all of his offense (one goal, two assists) over nine outings this season. He's at least managed to stay in the lineup, and he's added 13 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. The 22-year-old will likely compete with Brendan Brisson and Cole Schwindt for bottom-six minutes.

Breaks through with goal Holtz scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Impact The goal was Holtz's first point in seven contests this season. The 22-year-old winger has maintained a middle-six role, but he was last among Vegas forwards with 11:05 of ice time even in this blowout win. He's added 11 shots on net and a minus-2 rating. Holtz will need to find his scoring touch before William Karlsson (undisclosed) and Victor Olofsson (lower body) return, as they could bump him out of the lineup.

Two points in Saturday's loss Holtz scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 preseason loss to the Sharks.

Impact Holtz and Pavel Dorofeyev helped out on each other's tallies in the first period. Holtz was acquired by Vegas with Akira Schmid in a June trade that sent Paul Cotter to New Jersey. The 22-year-old Holtz will get a fresh start with the Golden Knights after producing 34 points over his first 110 games with the Devils. The winger is expected to see middle-six minutes and some power-play time in 2024-25.

Involved in trade Holtz was acquired by the Golden Knights from the Devils along with Akira Schmid on Saturday in exchange for Paul Cotter and a 2025 third-round pick.

Impact Holtz provided 16 goals and 28 points in 82 contests with the Devils in 2023-24. The 22-year-old forward was selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and has the potential to make significant strides offensively. Holtz might start the 2024-25 campaign serving in a middle-six capacity.

Non-factor for last two months Holtz didn't record a meaningful statistic in 10:36 of ice time during Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Holtz's only contributions to the box score were a pair of missed shots, even though 1:32 of his TOI came on the power play. While Holtz has a respectable 14 goals and 25 points this season, those totals include only two goals and one assist over the past 25 games, as Holtz has been buried on the fourth line for the last two months.

Struggling to score Holtz finished with a minus-1 rating and one shot on goal in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers, and he has just two points in his last 13 games.

Impact Holtz snapped an 11-game goal drought in his previous game, Tuesday in Washington, but he failed to establish any momentum with that tally. The 22-year-old winger has a consistent spot in the lineup, having dressed for all 56 of New Jersey's games while scoring a career-high 24 points already, but his usage has been trending down. Holtz saw just 9:55 of ice time Thursday, marking the fourth time in the last five games that he has skated fewer than 10 minutes.

Tallies game-winning goal Holtz scored the game-winning goal in a 4-1 victory over Columbus on Friday.

Impact Holtz earned his second game-winning goal of the campaign. He's up to 12 tallies and 22 points in 43 outings in 2023-24. That's plenty of offense for a forward who entered Friday's action averaging just 12:00 of ice time, but it's hard to imagine his scoring pace increasing further unless the 21-year-old is given a larger role.

Two points in Friday's win Holtz produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over Chicago.

Impact He potted New Jersey's first goal of the game midway through the second period, then helped set up Michael McLeod for the game-winner in the third. Holtz has delivered back-to-back multi-point performances, but his spot on the third line and second power-play unit for the Devils limits his fantasy ceiling despite his talent. On the season, the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft has nine goals and 19 points in 37 games.

Picks up two assists Wednesday Holtz registered two assists in a 6-3 win over Washington on Wednesday.

Impact Holtz earned his second multi-point game of the season. He has eight goals and 17 points in 36 outings this season. The 21-year-old has offensive upside, but he's serving in a bottom-six capacity, averaging just 11:55 of ice time, which will keep his production somewhat sporadic for now.

Snags helper in low-scoring contest Holtz registered an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact New Jersey's seventh overall pick from 2020 is starting to look quite comfortable at the top level, as this was his eighth point over the last month, a span of 14 games. Holtz has just one power-play point (an assist), but more of those could be on the horizon given that the Devils boast the league's best power-play percentage at 32.6 percent.

Scores goal in win over Flames Holtz provided a goal in a 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Impact Holtz has eight markers and 12 points in 25 contests this season. His goals have mostly come in bunches this campaign with him collecting three over five appearances from Oct. 24-Nov. 2 and another three over four games from Nov. 24-30. Perhaps his latest goal will serve as the beginning of a similar stretch.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pots fifth goal in Friday's loss Holtz scored a goal on five shots and added four PIM, a hit and a blocked shot in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact He took advantage of a Jake Bean turnover in the Columbus end and snapped the puck past Elvis Merzlikins midway through the first period, but it was all the offense New Jersey could muster. The 21-year-old Holtz has already set new career highs with five goals and seven points through 18 games, but the seventh overall pick in the 2020 Draft is skating on the third line at even strength and on the second power-play unit, an assignment that limits his short-term fantasy value. The eventual return of Nico Hischier (upper body) will put one more obstacle between Holtz and a significant role.
