ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Blues breakout ahead Dylan Holloway has had surgical procedure for the damage that saved him out of the lineup down the stretch and for the playoffs and is anticipated to be accessible for the beginning of the 2025-26 season, normal supervisor Doug Armstrong mentioned at his end-of-season information convention Tuesday.
Armstrong didn’t disclose the character of the damage.
Holloway was hurt within the Blues’ 5-4 extra time win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 3. He was wincing in ache after a success by Pittsburgh’s Rutger McGroarty within the first interval. He took another shift then didn’t return.
Initially, the Blues introduced that he’d be out for a few video games and that they’d have a extra definitive timeline after Holloway was evaluated. When the official analysis got here, they mentioned it might be week to week.
“We have been hoping for higher information,” Blues coach Jim Montgomery mentioned on the time. “We have been hoping for day-to-day as an alternative of week-to-week, (however) we’ll simply see the way it progresses now.”
Requested if Holloway can be out for the rest of the common season, Montgomery mentioned, “Once more, week-to-week. … It’s only a completely different sort of damage we haven’t handled. It’s how rapidly does it mend? Is it per week? It’s two weeks? I don’t know.”
This is the play wherein Holloway was apparently injured.
In case you missed it, he’s out of the sport with a lower-body damage. #stlblues

Ultimately, Holloway didn’t return to the Blues’ lineup, lacking the final 5 video games of the common season and all seven video games of their first-round sequence in opposition to the Winnipeg Jets. His presence was actually missed in a particularly bodily sequence.
Within the common season, Holloway was the Blues’ second-leading goal-scorer with 26 and third in factors with 63. He was fifth on the group with 165 hits in 77 video games (7.64 hits per 60 minutes).
Holloway, 23, has one season remaining on a two-year contract with a $2.29 annual common worth. If unsigned, he’ll develop into a restricted free agent following the 2025-26 season.
