Simon Holmstrom’s family was fast asleep in Sweden when he scored his first NHL goal.
on Saturday night, Holmstrom wasn’t sure who he would call first. That was a decision for the morning.“It was unbelievable,” the 21-year-old Swede said. “Just trying to get a shot on net and luckily it went in.”
“It’s a great thing to experience,” Holmstrom said. “Just with this team as well, they’re unbelievable, so it’s great to share this with them.” With the Islanders still working through some injuries, it’s not clear how long they’ll need Holmstrom to stay in the lineup. But they’ll be happy to keep him around if he keeps turning in performances like Saturday’s.
“He’s played very well,” Lambert said. “I don’t know exactly [what happened]. We’ll evaluate him in the next couple days and see where he’s at.”
