He has spent his entire career (to date) in Detroit, scoring 240 goals to go along with his 284 assists.

39 Today, Holmstrom Still Playing In The NHL
I thought some of you would enjoy this ‘Bowmanism’ regarding Tomas Holmstrom…
from a Windsor Star story on February 7, 2008, “When I got over here Scotty (Bowman) told me never to leave the front of the net,” said Holmstrom, who has 20 goals and 36 points in 44 games. “He said. ‘Don’t even go into the corner, just stay in front.’
“I don’t mind it (playing...

Homer’s Night
Tonight Tomas Holmstrom will play in his 1000th NHL game, all with the Detroit Red Wings.
But did you know his first NHL was typical Holmstrom style?
from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo, His English has improved, but it’s all relative. His accent used to be so thick that people couldn’t even guess where he was from. Now at least they try. “They go, ‘Are...

Wings Celebrate Tomas Holmstrom’s 39th Birthday With #17 In A Row At The Joe
Tomas Holmstrom celebrated his 39th birthday by doing what he does best; frustrating goalies, leading to Red Wing goals.

Kronwall’s goal gave the Wings a 3-1 advantage, which they would see through to the finish. The win was Detroit’...

Detroit Red Wings – 24 in 24: Tomas Holmstrom
