Rotowire
Holtz notched an assist and five shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Blues.
Holtz entered the lineup with Mitch Marner (personal) away from the team. Holtz saw 14:04 of ice time, none of which came on the power play. The 24-year-old winger has some talent but has yet to consistently display it at the NHL level. Once Marner's back, Holtz will be battling for a depth role if he isn't reassigned to AHL Henderson.

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).

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.
