Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Scores in third straight game
Holmberg scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Holmberg found the back of the net at the 1:40 mark of the third period with a tip-in, giving the Lightning a 4-1 lead, although they'd end up wasting that lead before prevailing in the shootout. Holmberg is trending in the right direction and has scored in three straight contests while cracking the scoresheet in his last four outings. He has six goals and 12 points in 31 games so far, so it's safe to say he's riding through his most productive stretch of the campaign.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Finds twine in win
Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Holmberg has trended up lately with three goals and an assist over his last seven games. The 26-year-old is still in a bottom-six role, which makes any productive stretch tough to sustain. He's at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating through 29 outings overall, putting him on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his four-year career.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Tallies again Thursday
Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Devils.
Holmberg has scored in back-to-back contests. The 26-year-old is slotting into a third-line role with Yanni Gourde and Zemgus Girgensons as linemates, though that's a trio that will often focus more on their own zone than on offense. Holmberg is at three goals, eight points, 30 shots on net, 26 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 24 appearances this season. Even with time lost to an undisclosed injury, he's on pace to top the 20-point mark for the first time in his career.

Holmberg missed the previous seven games due to an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old was reunited with Yanni Gourde and Zemgus Girgensons, and the trio assisted on Girgensons' first-period tally.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Removed from IR
Holmberg (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Calgary, per the NHL media site.
Holmberg is returning following a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to his undisclosed injury. With the 26-year-old winger back to 100 percent, he will step into a third-line role while Brayden Point (undisclosed) remains on the shelf. On the year, Holmberg has managed just one goal in 15 contests while adding four helpers, which shouldn't come as a huge surprise considering he hasn't reached the 20-point threshold yet in his NHL career.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Will remain sidelined Monday
Head coach Jon Cooper said that Holmberg (undisclosed) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against the Flyers but is getting closer to returning, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
While a clear timetable for Holmberg's return hasn't yet been revealed, it's at least encouraging that he seems to be trending in the right direction after landing on injured reserve in mid-November. Holmberg appeared in 15 games prior to sustaining his injury, and he recorded a goal, four assists, 18 hits, 10 PIM and seven blocked shots while averaging 12:24 of ice time.

Holmberg is set to miss at least one game after sitting out practices Sunday and Tuesday. The 26-year-old joins Anthony Cirelli (upper body) and Dominic James (undisclosed) on the injury list.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Deemed day-to-day
Holmberg (undisclosed) is day-to-day after missing Tuesday's practice, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Holmberg also didn't participate in Sunday's session, making his availability for Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers unclear. He has collected one goal, four assists, 15 shots on net and 18 hits across 15 appearances this season. If Holmberg doesn't play versus the Rangers, Curtis Douglas could draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last three games.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Provides pair of helpers
Holmberg notched two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Holmberg has two multi-point efforts this season, and he snapped a three-game dry spell with Tuesday's performance. The 26-year-old forward has held down a fourth-line role this campaign, earning a goal, four assists, 11 shots on net, 15 hits, six blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating through 10 contests. Holmberg could eclipse the 20-point mark for the first time in his career, but his overall profile and playing style aren't favorable for fantasy usage.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Nets game winner for new team
Holmberg scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 win over the Bruins on Monday.
Holmberg stuffed in a rebound at 3:37 of the second for a 4-1 lead. The points were his first in a Lightning uniform. He's clearly one of those better on the ice than in fantasy guys. Holmberg put up a career high 19 points in 68 games last season in Toronto while averaging 12:40 of ice time. He should replicate that in his new city.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Drawing in Saturday
Holmberg (undisclosed) will play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Lightning radio announcer Dave Mishkin reports.
Holmberg was cleared for contact at practice Thursday, and he'll get some game action just a couple of days later. The 26-year-old forward's injury cost him just under a week of preseason play. He'll make one more push Saturday for the Opening Night roster, though he's likely to be limited to bottom-six minutes at best.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Cleared for contact
Holmberg (undisclosed) was on the ice in a regular jersey for Thursday's practice session, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Holmberg's return to practice doesn't mean he'll be in action to face the Panthers on Thursday. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the 26-year-old winger, who should be available for Opening Night against the Senators on Oct. 9. Even with Holmberg on the roster, he is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could spend plenty of time watching from the press box.

Holmberg (undisclosed) sported a non-contact jersey at Tuesday's morning skate, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Holmberg has already been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Panthers, though head coach Jon Cooper implied Monday that Holmberg could play in Tampa Bay's last two exhibition outings later this week. The 26-year-old forward notched seven goals, 19 points and a plus-4 rating across 68 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs in 2024-25.

Holmberg has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Panthers for an undisclosed reason, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Although Holmberg will be unavailable Tuesday, head coach Jon Cooper suggested Monday that he isn't too concerned about Holmberg's availability for the start of the regular season. Once the 2025-26 regular season gets underway, Holmberg will likely handle a bottom-six role for the Lightning.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Will be UFA
Holmberg was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Maple Leafs on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Holmberg's ice time over his three-year career with the Maple Leafs has crept up each year, and he hit a career-high 12:40 per game this past season. He finished the past year with 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 68 regular-season games played as a key part of the Maple Leafs' bottom-six. Now an unrestricted free agent, he will likely have no trouble inking a contract with a new team to play a role in an NHL capacity once free agency opens.
