Holloway Fueled St. Louis' Attack with Playmaking Heat

Dylan Holloway was the catalyst — his three assists not only finished plays but came from the high-quality chances he helped create. He played with coach’s trust (about 17 minutes a night), pushed the Blues to have the better expected chances while on the ice, and generated a narrow edge in high-danger chances (16 for, 15 against) that translated into real looks for teammates. His two-way work added physicality (12 hits) and defensive blocks (3) that helped keep pressure alive in the offensive end.
