Holloway Sparks Blues' Five-on-Five Push
All three assists came in the second period as the Blues rallied to take the lead
Written during the game · 9:22 PM ET. Final was CBJ 3, STL 5.
Dylan Holloway has been the game's most influential skater for St. Louis.
He recorded 3 assists, logged 13:48 of ice time and finished with an individual expected goals of 0.34; the Blues out-attempted Columbus 48-43 and posted expected goals 2.1 to 1.48 in their favour.
He did it the everyday way: steady, involved play that showed up on the scoresheet rather than flashy highlight-reel work. All three assists came during the second period, when St. Louis scored three straight to erase a two-goal deficit and take the lead.
For Blues fans, this mattered because those assists converted sustained pressure into actual goals and gave the team control of the middle frame rather than leaving the outcome to bounces or scramble plays.
