24-Year-Old Right WingRW
New York Islanders
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Holmstrom has been a model of efficiency in his young career, shooting above 20 percent in two straight years. The 24-year-old had a larger role in 2024-25 -- his average ice time rose from 13:19 in 2023-24 to 16:52 last year. He turned that into more production, recording 20 goals and 25 assists, up from 15 and 10, respectively. That shooting percentage will be extremely hard to sustain, but through exactly 200 games, his career shooting percentage is 19.8 percent. He has upside, but he's a tough player to project because of the lack of shot volume (96 shots on goal in 75 games). Given his status as a top-six winger, it’ll be crucial that he generates more shots, whether he can maintain his high efficiency or not. He could score 10 goals or 30 goals in 2025-26, and it wouldn’t be too shocking one way or the other. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $7.25 million contract with the Islanders in July of 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
It was a career season for Holmstrom, as he set new personal bests in nearly every fantasy category including goals (15), assists (10), shots on net (72), hits (19) and blocked shots (46). Perhaps most impressive, of the 23-year-old winger's 15 tallies, five were scored shorthanded, which was just one behind Travis Konecny for the league lead. Looking ahead to the 2024-25 campaign, the playmaker could be in line for a role with one of the power-play units, which would help bolster his offensive output and could see him challenge for the 20-goal and 40-point marks - making him an intriguing fantasy target.
A 2019 first-round pick of the Islanders (23rd overall), Holmstrom was a part-time player for the team a season ago, appearing in 50 games and managing six goals and nine points. Holmstrom wasn't much better in a stint with AHL Bridgeport, finishing with three goals and five points there. The Swede will play the entirety of this upcoming season at age 22, but he's a clear pass in fantasy circles until he proves he can score at the NHL level.
