Holl had an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.
Holl was acquired from the Red Wings in the Justin Faulk trade Friday. The 34-year-old Holl was with AHL Grand Rapids prior to the trade, but the Blues need him in the NHL currently while Colton Parayko (back) is out of the lineup. Holl hadn't seen NHL ice since 2024-25, when he posted just eight points in 73 contests for the Red Wings. He has minimal offensive upside, and his physical play took a severe downturn last year, so the blueliner is unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Blues' Justin Holl: Flipped in Faulk deal
Rotowire
Holl was traded to St. Louis, along with Dmitri Buchelnikov and a 2026 first-round and 2026 third-round pick, from Detroit on Friday in exchange for Justin Faulk.
Holl appeared in 73 games for the Red Wings last season, notching eight points, but hasn't been able to break into the lineup this year. With AHL Grand Rapids, the blueliner has produced two goals and 12 helpers in 41 contests. Per the NHL media site, Holl will start his time with the Blues on the NHL roster.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Recalled Thursday
Rotowire
Holl was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.
Simon Edvinsson (lower body) isn't expected to be available until after the Olympic break and was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move, so calling up Holl gives the Red Wings another healthy blueliner. The 33-year-old Holl has two goals and 10 points in 31 outings with Grand Rapids this season. He has 396 career regular-season appearances in the NHL, but he hasn't played at the top level yet this season.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Holl was placed on waivers by the Red Wings, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.
Holl was placed on the waivers ahead of final cuts by the Red Wings last year, but he still went on to record eight points across 73 games at the NHL level in 2024-25. The 33-year-old is in the last season of a three-year, $10.2 million contract.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Rare goal in loss
Rotowire

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Gets on scoresheet Friday
Rotowire
Holl recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Holl got on the scoresheet for the first time in three months, ending a 37-game point drought. While he's been a regular in the Red Wings' lineup, he's been limited to third-pairing duties most of the time. The defenseman has just six points, 36 shots on net, 33 hits, 74 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 71 appearances.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Still cold on offense
Rotowire
Holl's point drought reached 25 games in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
In that span, Holl has a minus-5 rating, 20 blocked shots, 15 shots on net, nine hits and six PIM. He's a third-pairing defenseman for the Red Wings, so it's no surprise there's a lack of offense in his game, but he's usually a more physical player. This season, he's been limited to five points, 29 shots on net, 28 hits, 59 blocks, 16 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 58 appearances.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Enters break in slump
Rotowire
Holl was held off the scoresheet for the 14th consecutive game in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
Holl went minus-4 with 12 blocked shots in that span. The 33-year-old has settled into a third-pairing role during the absence of Jeff Petry (undisclosed), and barring any trades for defensive reinforcements, Holl should resume playing there when the Red Wings' schedule restarts Feb. 22 versus the Wild. He's unlikely to interest most fantasy managers given his lack of offense -- he has five points with 20 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-7 rating over 47 outings this season.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Snags assist Friday
Rotowire
Holl registered an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Holl has two helpers over four contests in January. The 32-year-old blueliner hasn't typically generated much offense, picking up just five points with 14 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 33 appearances. He's added 19 hits and 39 blocked shots. Holl's spot in the lineup appears to be safe until Jeff Petry (undisclosed) is ready to be activated from injured reserve.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Holl recorded an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Holl ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old was scratched just once in that span, and it appears he's mostly separated himself from being at danger of sitting out, which has most often happened to Erik Gustafsson and Albert Johansson. Holl could even see a larger role if Jeff Petry (undisclosed) misses time after getting hurt Thursday. Holl is at four points, 11 shots on net, 18 hits and 36 blocked shots through 30 appearances, so he won't be a strong fantasy option even if he continues to play regularly.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Maintaining decent playing time
Rotowire
Holl has been scratched just once over 11 games in December.
Holl doesn't have a point and has gone minus-5 with seven hits and 11 blocked shots over his 10 appearances this month. The 32-year-old defenseman has been holding a large share of playing time in a bottom-four role, and he's had a little more ice time while the Red Wings deal with injuries to Simon Edvinsson (upper body) and Ben Chiarot (upper body). Holl is at three points, 34 blocked shots, 16 hits and a minus-2 rating over 26 contests this season.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Holl scored a goal, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
Holl has played in four straight games and has two points in that span. The defenseman is up to three points, five shots on net, 23 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-3 rating over 16 appearances. His production across the board is too low to be helpful in fantasy, but it appears he's carving out a larger role in the lineup.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Finds assist in win
Rotowire
Holl logged an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
Holl picked up his second helper of the year. He's been in the lineup in seven of 11 contests in November, though he continues to be in competition with Albert Johansson and Erik Gustafsson for third-pairing minutes. Holl has added 17 blocked shots, eight hits, four shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 14 appearances this season, so he's not even really standing out with physicality, which is typically his biggest strength.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: No offense in part-time role
Rotowire
Holl has gone 10 games without a point and was scratched for the sixth time in that span Thursday versus the Islanders.
Holl is in a rotational role on the third pairing, competing with Albert Johansson and Erik Gustafsson for playing time. The 32-year-old Holl has never been one to put up big numbers on offense, topping out at 23 points in 69 games in 2021-22. He has one assist, four shots on net, eight hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances this season.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Heading back up Wednesday
Rotowire
Holl was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
Holl's promotion doesn't bode well for Jeff Petry's (upper body) availability versus the Rangers on Thursday, though it could be more of a precautionary move. Even if Petry can't play, the 32-year-old Holl is far from guaranteed a spot in the lineup, as both Erik Gustafsson and Albert Johansson will be looking for minutes.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Holl was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.
Holl demotion could just be a product of the Wings' schedule, with the team not back in action until Thursday's clash with the Rangers. Still, it could also mean that Jeff Petry (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup after missing the previous two contests. Regardless, Holl likely will continue to shuffle between levels this season depending on the health of Detroit's blue line.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Joining NHL club
Rotowire
Holl will be called up by the Red Wings ahead of Saturday's game against Nashville, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Holl was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, but he's slated rejoin the NHL club since Jeff Petry (upper body) will be unavailable. Petry is considered day-to-day, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Holl return to the AHL once Petry is medically cleared. It's unclear if Holl will see any playing time against the Predators.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Goes on waivers
Rotowire
Holl was put on waivers Sunday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Holl still has two more seasons left on his three-year, $10.2 million contract. He produced five assists, 14 shots on goal, 39 blocked shots and 59 hits across 38 appearances with Detroit in the 2023-24 regular season. Holl will likely begin the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Justin Holl: Opportunities scarce in Motown
Rotowire
Holl was a part-time player for the Red Wings in 2023-24, with five assists representing his point total through 38 games.
Expectations were high for Holl since the Wings granted him a three-year, $10.2 million contract last summer, but the right-shot defenseman wasn't utilized nearly as often as he was with the Maple Leafs for the first six years of his NHL career. In 2022-23, Holl picked up a pair of goals, 16 assists, 139 blocked shots and 151 hits in 80 games for Toronto, and he averaged 20:14 of ice time. The Wings' blue line was much more crowded in comparison this year, leaving Holl as the odd-man out in terms of opportunities.
