Holmstrom was credited with an assist during Friday's 3-2 victory over the host Blue Jackets for his first NHL point.
Appearing in his second NHL game, Holmstrom helped the Islanders jump out to an early lead Friday. The 2019 first-round draft pick helped set up rookie Oliver Wahlstrom for the game-opening tally at 17:26 of the first period. Despite getting only 10:34 of ice time, Holmstrom skated on the top line with Wahlstrom and Mathew Barzal. Holmstrom is auditioning for a sustained NHL role while Kyle Palmieri (upper body) is out of the lineup.
