Islanders re-sign Holmstrom to 1-year pact

The New York Islanders re-signed restricted free-agent winger Simon Holmstrom to a one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal carries an $850,000 cap hit, a source told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

Holmstrom is coming off a breakout season in which he tallied 15 goals and 10 assists in 75 games. He was notably a threat on the penalty kill, notching five goals while down a man - one back of the league lead.

He recorded nine points over 50 games in his rookie campaign in 2022-23.

The Islanders drafted the Swede 23rd overall in 2019.
