Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Trio of assists in win
Rotowire
Holtz logged three assists in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.
Holtz has four helpers over three contests since he joined the Silver Knights after passing through waivers Friday. The 24-year-old is eligible for the AHL playoffs with that move, but he'll also be organizational depth for the big club should any injuries take out a forward. Holtz had nine points in 28 games with the Golden Knights prior to his demotion.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Holtz (upper body) was put on waivers by Vegas on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Holtz has missed the last two games due to his upper-body injury. He has three goals and six assists in 28 games. The Golden Knights picked up Nic Dowd from Washington earlier Thursday, so Holtz could have trouble earning a roster spot with the Golden Knights down the stretch.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Not available Wednesday
Rotowire
Holtz (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
Holtz is set for his second straight absence due to the issue. It's unclear if he'll be ready to play Friday versus the Wild. Even when healthy, the Golden Knights' trade for Cole Smith, who is debuting for the team Wednesday, may make it tough for Holtz to secure regular playing time.

Rotowire

Holtz will miss at least one game after being absent from the team's morning skate. He hasn't earned a point in nine NHL appearances this season while posting 10 shots on goal and 16 hits. With Holtz and Mark Stone (upper body) unavailable, Raphael Lavoie will suit up against the Sabres on Tuesday.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Finds twine Wednesday
Rotowire
Holtz scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Holtz has picked up the pace a bit with five points over his last nine outings. He started Wednesday's game on the top line, but he saw just 14:09 of ice time. He's mostly filled a bottom-six role this season, earning eight points, 26 shots on net, 24 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 25 appearances. Holtz will need to show steady offense over a longer stretch to work his way into the fantasy conversation.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Pots goal, adds assist
Rotowire
Holtz scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.
Holtz tied the game at 1-1 in the second period and set up a Cole Reinhardt tally in the third. This was Holtz's second multi-point effort in his last eight games, but he's also been scratched four times in that span. The 23-year-old has mostly seen bottom-six minutes when in the lineup, which has limited his production. He's up to two goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 17 appearances. Until Holtz can secure more playing time, he's a poor option for most fantasy formats.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Earns two points Saturday
Rotowire
Holtz scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Holtz played for a second straight time, though it was just his fourth appearance since the start of November. He made a decent case for himself to stay in the fold with his first two points of the campaign, including the opening goal at 2:43 of the first period. Holtz has added 15 shots on net, five blocked shots, two hits, six PIM and a minus-1 rating over 10 games this season. For now, he's holding off Cole Reinhardt for a spot in the lineup, though Holtz could still find himself back in the press box once Jack Eichel (lower body) is healthy.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Boxed out of lineup
Rotowire
Holtz was a healthy scratch for the ninth time in 10 games in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Braeden Bowman made his NHL debut Nov. 13, and his early success has kept Holtz firmly in the press box even in the absence of Mark Stone (wrist). Holtz didn't miss training camp while awaiting a new contract, but he's not getting much of a chance to showcase his skills. The 23-year-old winger could be a candidate for a conditioning loan at AHL Henderson if he sits around much longer. He has no points, 12 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over seven outings this season.

Holtz signed a two-year, $1.675 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday.
Holtz contributed four goals, 12 points, 69 shots on net and 39 hits across 53 regular-season games in 2024-25. He will probably occupy a depth role with the Golden Knights this campaign, but he may not be an every-game player in the lineup.

Rotowire
Holtz scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
Holtz was playing in his second game since he was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday. The 23-year-old winger has slotted into a third-line role while the Golden Knights manage the absences of Jack Eichel (upper body) and Victor Olofsson (illness). Holtz has earned four goals, 12 points, 65 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-3 rating over 51 appearances at the NHL level this season, a far cry from his 28-point showing over all 82 contests with the Devils in 2023-24.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Generates helper Sunday
Rotowire
Holtz managed an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
Holtz began the game on the fourth line but saw some shifts with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev later on.

The 23-year-old winger has 11 points, 58 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-3 rating through 47 appearances. Holtz's move to the top line is likely to be temporary -- entering Sunday, he had been scratched in three of the previous five games.

Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire

Holtz provided an insurance tally in the third period. He also blocked a shot in that frame, but he was able to return to the contest after a brief trip to the locker room. The goal ended his 10-game slump, but Holtz's offense is likely to remain limited while he's in a fourth-line role. The winger has three goals, 10 points, 51 shots on net, 32 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 38 outings this season.
