The St. Louis Blues have secured a key piece of their young core, signing forward Dylan Holloway to a five-year contract extension worth a $7.75 million average annual value (AAV) following a strong campaign in which he emerged as one of the team’s most reliable offensive threats.

The 24-year-old winger appeared in 59 games this season, a total impacted by time missed due to injury, yet still managed to finish second on the Blues in both goals (22) and points (51). Despite the missed time, Holloway’s production remained steady when in the lineup, and his impact became even more pronounced down the stretch.

Following the midseason break, Holloway elevated his play to another level, ranking among the NHL’s most productive forwards with 34 points over the final stretch of the season. His strong two-way presence also stood out, as he posted a +26 rating during that span, one of the best marks in the league, while continuing to drive play at even strength with 29 even-strength points.

Over the past two seasons in St. Louis, Holloway has developed into a core top-six forward, recording 114 points (48 goals, 66 assists) in 136 games while maintaining a +34 rating. Across his NHL career, which began after being selected 14th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2020 NHL Draft, he has totaled 132 points in 225 games, along with growing playoff experience.

Since arriving in St. Louis in 2024, Holloway has quickly become a foundational piece for the St. Louis Blues, bringing speed, energy, and consistent scoring ability to a forward group in transition.

The five-year extension reflects the organization’s belief that Dylan Holloway’s trajectory is still rising, especially as he continues to round out his game and build on a season that showcased both resilience and offensive growth despite time lost to injury.
