RW Tomas Holmstrom is off to the best start of his career, with eight goals in 13 games. Holmstrom has been ravaged by injuries the last two seasons, but now he is healthy and feeling good. He typically scores most of his goals on tips and rebounds from around the net but is scoring more goals by shooting this season.

Holmstrom's second-period tally proved to be the game-winner as Detroit won at Calgary on Saturday night, 3-1. The marker came on his only shot of the night.
Recommendation: If there's any doubt that he's Detroit's No. 1 sniper thus far, consider that his seven goals are more than double the next-best total on the team. This marks a noticeable change in focus for the veteran winger, who has never scored at this pace over a full season before. If you own him and you believe in buying low and selling high, you should be thinking about offering him in trade for an underperforming star.
