1 week agoNY Islanders head coach Patrick Roy isn't concerned about Simon Holmstrom's slow start
Through five games, the 24-year-old Swede has averaged just 11:45 TOI - more than five minutes below last year's season average of 16:52. Holmstrom has recorded an assist on opening night, but has been held pointless since, and is a -4 on the season. Perhaps the most discouraging statistic for Holmstrom is his two shots on the season. While some may be worried about his inability to get pucks through towards the net this season, Patrick Roy sees no cause for concern.

We got a little taste of it during training camp and all the hype videos we saw. But he's so composed with the puck and he knows when to jump, when not to jump. His hockey IQ is amazing. He played great tonight for us.
