Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Awarded empty-netter
Holmberg was credited with an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Wild.
Holmberg was impeded on his way to the empty net, which resulted in him being awarded the goal despite not recording a shot on net in the contest. He has four points over his last six games. For the season, the 27-year-old forward is up to 11 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net, 59 hits, 30 blocked shots and 23 PIM over 63 outings in a bottom-six role.

Holmberg notched an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Fills empty cage
Holmberg scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
With the empty-netter, Holmberg has set a career high in goals with eight. He's netted seven of those tallies in his last 18 games, adding two assists, 26 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 26-year-old has done a fine job as a bottom-six forward in his first year with the Lightning, earning 15 points, 52 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 40 outings overall. He's on a career-best pace, but that's still not enough to gain attention in most fantasy formats.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Scores early in win
Holmberg scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Holmberg opened the scoring 1:10 into the game. He has four goals and two assists over his last 10 outings, though he remains in a bottom-six role that is likely to keep his offense modest overall. The 26-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 14 points, 49 shots on net, 38 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 37 appearances, putting him on track to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his career.

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.

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.

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.

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.
