"It is what it is, you can't really control it, Holmstrom said. I just have to focus here and do my best. There's nothing I can control anymore. It's over, and I just have to move forward. The 24-year-old is continuing to assert himself as a reliable and versatile two-way forward capable of top-tier penalty-killing and the occasional offensive outburst."
"I want to prove them wrong, show that they were wrong with their choice, Holmstrom continued. They have a great team. There's a lot of tough decisions. A lot of guys could probably be on this team, as well. It just proves that Sweden has a lot of good hockey players, which is a good thing. His fellow countryman and Islanders teammate, Emil Heineman, is still unsure if he will factor in Sweden's Olympic plans as a reserve."
Simon Holmstrom did not make Sweden's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina and is not listed as a potential reserve. He said he cannot control the decision and must focus on performing with his NHL club. The 24-year-old is a reliable, versatile two-way forward known for penalty killing and occasional offensive outbursts. He scored 20 goals last season and has nine points in his last 12 games after a slow start. Islanders teammate Emil Heineman remains unsure about reserve status. Acquired in the Noah Dobson trade, Heineman has 13 goals in 42 games, a career high.
