When looking at breakout candidates for the St. Louis Blues, Dylan Holloway stands out as one of the top players. He’ll be just 24 years old when the season starts, and has already shown major progress through last season. Holloway set a career high in both goals and points before an injury sidelined him late in the year. The crucial role he played last season ensures he will be a key piece of the St. Louis Blues offence again. For fantasy players looking for upside picks, Holloway is a candidate worth circling.
Dylan Holloway 2025-26 Point Projections
Style of Play
Last season was Holloway’s true breakout year, as he tallied 26 goals and 63 points, and his style of play was a major reason why. His north-south game is one of his greatest assets. His speed allowed him to pressure defenders and force mistakes in transition. A lot of his scoring chances last season came from attacking off the rush, giving him the ability to generate his own opportunities. His style of play complements Jordan Kyrou, giving Kyrou the chance to find open space while Holloway takes the defender’s attention.
All throughout last season, Holloway’s offensive chemistry with Kyrou was evident thanks to the numbers they put up. Now, with a whole new season projected on the same line, Holloway could push his numbers to a new level. His ability to retrieve pucks, force opponent mistakes, and extend zone time consistently will make him a scoring threat this season.
Power-Play Potential
An important key to Holloway’s point ceiling will be his ability on the power play. It’s no secret that the Blues’ man advantage has had its cold streaks, but with the combination of Cam Fowler and 70-point centre Robert Thomas, Holloway could be a strong bumper option in front of the net. Power play success this season could boost his point totals into the top of the team charts. Of course, it is easier said than done, and the power play unit will need to be more structured in order to work efficiently. Holloway will most likely be on the first power play line this season, and it’ll be on him to take charge.
Fantasy Floor and Ceiling
Floor: 50-55 points. If staying healthy becomes an issue (or he struggles recovering from last season’s injury) or power play ability is struggling, Holloway would still be a reliable middle-six scorer.
Likely Outcome: 65-70 points, with around 30 goals. Breaking 30 goals this season will be the goal for Holloway this season, and would mark steady growth in his young career.
Ceiling: 70+ points. A full season alongside Kyrou and a strong power play line could have Holloway emerging as one of the league’s best breakout wingers.
Final Projection for 2025-26
We believe Holloway will record 67 points this season, scoring 30 goals and 37 assists. That projection would be a career-high in points and a significant mark for Holloway if he can break the 30 goal mark. His blend of speed, strength on the puck, and relentless pressure gives him a strong opportunity to do so. Pushing into the 70-point barrier is entirely possible too if everything clicks this season. Furthermore, if it clicks, a nice contract extension could be headed to Holloway.
