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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Holmstrom (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Maple Leafs.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Six points in last four games Holmstrom picked up two assists in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Impact The winger has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last four games. Holmstrom now has 21 points, including nine goals, at 39 shots in 34 games. He's four points from his career mark (21), which he set last season in 75 games, and he's on pace to flirt with a 50-point season. Holmstrom has a great shot, plays smart and knows how to perform in all zones. He's the kind of player who can excel in a PK role, too. That may ultimately pigeon hole Holmstrom, but until then, he's a solid winger who can help in medium-sized leagues.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Holmstrom was on the receiving end of a pass from Pierre Engvall that banked off of 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 five prior 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 more than likely to regress over the course of the season.

Three-point effort in win Holmstrom collected a goal and two assists in Thursday's 5-4 win over Chicago.

Impact The three points were a season high for Holmstrom, but the 23-year-old winger has produced three multi-point performances over the last eight games, piling up five goals and eight points in that span. The 23rd overall pick in the 2019 Draft hasn't consistently worked his way into a prime lineup spot quite yet, but he's seeing second-unit power-play time and is taking advantage of the ongoing absences of Mathew Barzal (upper body) and Anthony Duclair (lower body).

Pockets helper in Thursday's loss Holmstrom notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Holmstrom is liking life on the top line -- he has four goals and an assist over his last four games since moving up alongside Anders Lee and Bo Horvat. The 23-year-old Holmstrom is up to 15 points, 33 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 27 appearances. He doesn't have a lengthy track record of success on offense, but his production and current role are certainly worth checking on for fantasy.

Impact Holmstrom found the back of the net on even strength midway through the second period, and the 23-year-old winger closed the scoring with an empty-netter in the final seconds of the final frame. He's been on a tear of late with braces in back-to-back games, as he also notched two goals in the 5-4 loss to the Jets on Friday, and he's recorded five goals, and six total points, over his last six appearances.

Pots two goals Holmstrom tallied two goals, a plus-2 rating and six shots during Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Impact Holmstrom looked right at home on the top line alongside Anders Lee and Bo Horvat after being moved up the lineup to take the place of Jean-Gabriel Pageau (lower body). The 23-year-old has notched five goals and 12 points in 24 games and could see a boost to his fantasy value if he gets a longer look on the top line following Friday's performance.

Collects power-play assist Holmstrom provided a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Holmstrom has two goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 23-year-old winger had the secondary helper on Brock Nelson's second-period tally Saturday. Through 21 contests, Holmstrom is at 10 points (three on the power play), 19 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

Holmstrom has nine points over 20 outings this season, with seven of those points coming across 10 games in November.
