Pontus Holmberg scored twice in Tampa Bay's 4-3 loss to Winnipeg on Sunday, November 8, finishing with 2 goals, 4 shots and a plus-1 rating in 13:23.

The two-goal night stands out sharply against his recent averages of 0.29 points and 1.1 shots per game, and with the Lightning playing four times this week (Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday), Holmberg becomes an interesting stream target in deeper formats.

Pontus Holmberg

Holmberg posted 2 goals and 4 shots in 13:23 against Winnipeg on Sunday, November 8, in a 4-3 loss. That line far exceeds his recent averages of 0.15 goals, 0.14 assists, 0.29 points and 1.1 shots per game. He skates 13:19 a night and sees just 0:09 of power-play time, ranking 16th among all Lightning skaters in power-play ice time. His underlying play grades 75 out of 100 among forwards, a measure of how sustainable his scoring might be based on shots, scoring chances and ice time.

With four games left this week (Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday), Holmberg offers volume appeal in deeper leagues even if his normal output remains modest. His recent mark of 0.29 points per game and minimal power-play role (0:09 per night, 0.01 power-play points per game) make him a short-term stream rather than a season-long asset. The grade of 75 suggests his process is solid enough to support occasional scoring bursts, but managers should temper expectations after the big night and view him as a volume play for this week only.

What to do

• Stream Holmberg in deeper leagues for the four-game week, banking on volume rather than repeating Sunday's two-goal effort.

• Expect his production to regress toward 0.29 points per game, but the extra starts this week (Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday) give him utility.

• Drop him after this week unless he shows significant ice-time gains beyond his current 13:19 per night.
