St Louis Blues' Dylan Holloway Expected Ready for 2025-26 After Surgery

Dylan Holloway, a key forward for the St. Louis Blues, underwent surgery for an undisclosed injury sustained in early April, which sidelined him for the end of the regular season and the entire first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite the setback, Blues GM Doug Armstrong confirmed that Holloway is expected to be fully recovered and ready for the start of the 2025-26 season. Holloway had a breakout season with the Blues, scoring 26 goals and 63 points in 77 games, significantly outperforming his previous seasons with the Edmonton Oilers. His injury was a major blow to the Blues, especially during their playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets, where his absence was felt on the second line. At just 23 years old and in the final year of his current contract, Holloway is seen as a vital part of the Blues’ core moving forward, with speculation about a potential contract extension pending his performance next season. The Blues are optimistic about their chances next year, with Holloway’s health expected to enhance their competitiveness.
