The Toronto Maple Leafs welcomed Pontus Holmberg to the fold in recent weeks and it looks like he’s made it stick.
Not only have the Toronto Maple Leafs coaching staff been praising his efforts, he’s also shown his shooting ability in recent games, notching goals against New Jersey and Pittsburgh.
All the while, his ice-time is still hovering just above 10 minutes per game or around 13 shifts per game. Thus his 3 points (2 goals and 1 assist) seem a little more impressive.
Perhaps the most important fact when it comes to the Swedish center is that he was a 2018 sixth round (156th overall) pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs, making his ascension that much more notable.
