Holloway notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
Holloway has two helpers over his last five games, and he's been no worse for wear after taking a puck to the neck versus the Lightning last Tuesday. The 23-year-old continues to see top-six usage and power-play time. He's at seven points, 28 shots on net, 31 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. Holloway's mix of decent offense and physical play makes him an option for deeper fantasy formats.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Ready to play
Rotowire
Holloway (neck) told reporters he would be in action versus Utah on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Holloway was hoping to play in Thursday's contest but needed to get final medical clearance before sitting up against Utah. Where the winger fits into the lineup will likely depend on the health of Kasperi Kapanen, who is hoping to return from an upper-body injury. For his part, Holloway needs just four more points to set a new personal best after starting the year with four goals and two assists in 13 contests.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Finds back of net again
Rotowire
Holloway scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Senators.
The 23-year-old spoiled a shutout bid for Linus Ullmark in the third period. Holloway has scored three goals, two with the man advantage, in three games since Robert Thomas (ankle) was injured, and the former Oiler could be building a case for a more prominent spot on the depth chart even when the Blues' roster is at full strength.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Warming up after cold start
Rotowire
Holloway scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
His first goal stood as the winner. Holloway was alone in front of the net on the power play, took a pass from the corner and had time to deke before going five-hole on Joseph Woll. Holloway has three goals in his last three games, and four points (three goals, one assist) in eight games on the season. The 23-year-old is starting to show off the reason why the Blues signed him to an offer sheet and brought him on board.

He's played in a third-line role for much of that time, adding eight shots on net, 14 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Contract offer unmatched
Rotowire
Holloway will officially sign with the Blues on a two-year, $4.58 million contract after the Oilers opted not to match the offer Tuesday.
Holloway is far from a lock for the Opening Night lineup. He figures to be in a battle for ice time with Mathieu Joseph and Kasperi Kapanen but should at least have the opportunity to make an impression during training camp. In his 38 NHL appearances last year, the 22-year-old Holloway showed flashes of his offensive game, recording six goals and three assists while also dishing out 90 hits.

Holloway has a goal and an assist over his last two games.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Power-play goal in finale
Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Scores in NHL return
Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Holloway picked off an errant pass and scored the Oilers' fifth goal midway through the third period. This was his first NHL outing in over a month -- he went down to AHL Bakersfield amid a 10-game point drought in early March. The 22-year-old has four goals, one assist, 44 shots on net, 69 hits, 29 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 33 appearances. Holloway's recall was a regular one rather than an emergency recall, so he may stick in the NHL even if Connor McDavid (lower body) is cleared to play either Friday versus the Coyotes or Saturday versus the Canucks.
