Dylan Holloway's story
As a junior in Alberta Holloway made a name for himself with goal scoring and heavy minutes, culminating in a 2018–19 AJHL campaign where he posted 40 goals and 88 points in 53 games for the Okotoks Oilers.
Ranked 12th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, Holloway was picked 14th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He then played college hockey with the Wisconsin Badgers; during his sophomore year he recorded 11 goals and 24 assists in 23 games, finishing fifth in NCAA scoring and fourth in points per game.
Wrist surgeries in March and September 2021 interrupted his early pro timeline, and a bout of COVID-19 further delayed his return until January 2022. He spent the 2021–22 season with Edmonton’s AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, scoring 8 goals and adding 14 assists in 33 regular-season games, plus 2 goals and 2 assists across 4 playoff contests.
Holloway made his NHL debut on June 6, 2022, appearing in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals for the Oilers. He scored his first NHL goal on November 26, 2022, in a comeback win over the New York Rangers. In August 2024 he was the subject of an offer sheet from the St. Louis Blues — two years at US$2.29 million per season — which Edmonton declined to match; Holloway joined the Blues and Edmonton received a third‑round pick as compensation.
His time in St. Louis has already included dramatic moments: on November 5, 2024 he was stretchered off after being struck in the neck by a puck during a game against Tampa Bay, and on December 23, 2024 he recorded his first NHL hat trick with three goals against Detroit. Across those events, his game has shown a blend of offensive instinct and an ability to produce at key moments.
