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 (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Will not play against Rangers
Holmberg (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday versus the Rangers, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
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. Scott Sabourin and Boris Katchouk will help fill out the Lightning's lineup for Wednesday after they were both summoned from the minors.

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.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Skating in non-contact jersey
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.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Ruled out for Tuesday
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.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Lands two-year contract
Holmberg signed a two-year, $3.1 million contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Holmberg produced seven goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 46 hits across 68 regular-season appearances with Toronto in 2024-25. He will likely occupy a bottom-six role with the Lightning in the 2025-26 campaign.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Scores in Sunday's win
Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Holmberg ended a 19-game goal drought with his first-period tally Sunday. In that span, he had three assists, 19 hits, 17 shots on net and 14 blocked shots. The 26-year-old has been in a fourth-line role lately, but he's occasionally moved up in the lineup when he's playing well. Holmberg is at 17 points over 66 contests, matching his 54-game output from 2023-24. He's added 66 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 43 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-3 rating in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Puts up helper
Holmberg logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Holmberg snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up the first of Nicholas Robertson's two goals in this game. The 26-year-old Holmberg looked ticketed for the press box prior to David Kampf (upper body) exiting the lineup. For now, Holmberg is holding down a fourth-line role. He's at 16 points -- one shy of his career high -- with 62 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 39 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 62 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Role shrinking in March
Holmberg saw a season-low 7:38 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Holmberg had six points over five games between Feb. 22 and March 2, but he's put up just a single assist across his last 11 outings. His ice time has been trending downward as well, and he was even scratched for the two games prior to Saturday. The 26-year-old has seen time on the second line occasionally, but his current role is not fantasy friendly. He's at 15 points, 60 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-1 rating across 59 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Forces overtime Tuesday
Holmberg scored a goal, added two PIM and levied three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
Holmberg continues to fit in well on the second line -- he has four goals, one assist and a plus-4 rating over three contests since moving into that role following the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 25-year-old's goal Tuesday was clutch -- he scored with 46 seconds left in the third period to force overtime, allowing Mitch Marner to play hero with the game-winner in the extra session. Holmberg is up to six goals, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 46 appearances this season. He's worth a look as a streamer, but be ready to let him go if he moves back into the bottom six.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Fills empty cage
Holmberg scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Holmberg has three goals and an assist over two games since the schedule resumed, though two of those tallies were empty-netters. Still, it's a massive improvement for the 25-year-old forward, who was limited to two assists over seven outings in January while missing time due to an illness. Holmberg's uptick in production corresponds with a move to the second line alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, and he may have a little extra fantasy value as long as he's in that spot. For the season, Holmberg is at five goals, 12 points, 46 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Massive offensive outburst in win
Holmberg had two goals and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday.
Holmberg was deployed on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, and he made the most of it. He got credit when Jordan Staal accidentally scored on his own net early in the first period. Holmberg then put in an empty-netter on a 2-on-1 with William Nylander to finish the game. The 25-year-old Holmberg snapped a 17-game goal slump with the snipes. This game was lightning in a bottle for the winger. Don't overrate him.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Pockets assist
Holmberg provided an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
Holmberg has gotten a chance to center the second line in the absence of John Tavares (lower body), though Wednesday was the first time it led to a meaningful bump in ice time (19:31). The 25-year-old Holmberg is more of a defensive forward, so his scoring upside remains limited. He has eight points, 35 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 23 PIM and 17 hits over 39 contests in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Pontus Holmberg: Helps on power play
Holmberg had a power-play assist, three shots on net and two blocks in Saturday's 7-3 win over Montreal.
Holmberg got some rare playing time on the power play and picked up the secondary helper on a tally by Nicholas Robertson, who redirected a shot from the point with one second remaining on the penalty. It was Holmberg's first power-play point this season and the second of his career. The third-line winger has two goals and five assists over 35 outings this season.
