EDMONTON -- You never like to see players get hurt.

The concern is heightened once paramedics and stretchers get involved—but that's exactly what happened when Dylan Holloway took a puck to the neck during the St. Louis Blues' November 5th game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Thankfully, the injury was not severe, and Holloway didn't miss a game.

Until the last few games, Holloway struggled to find his rhythm again. After his last couple of performances, it's safe to say that he's found it.

Holloway scored his seventh goal of the season on Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. He scored two goals against the New Jersey Devils in the previous game.

The young forward has five points in his last three games, including the three goals mentioned above. In 25 games, he has accumulated 13 points.

Like his offer sheet compatriot Philip Broberg, he is enjoying a career year with the Blues. He smashed his previous record of six goals in a season last night. Last year, he collected six goals and three assists for nine points in 38 games.

If he were still with the Oilers, Holloway would be fourth on the team in scoring. Only Leon Draisaitl (32), Connor McDavid (31), and Evan Bouchard (18) have more points than the former Oilers forward.

Additionally, only Draisaitl (17) and McDavid (12) have scored more goals than Holloway this season.

It's good to see former Oilers succeeding, but it might be a tough pill for some fans to swallow.
