Former Wisconsin men’s hockey stars unite on St. Louis Blues

Former Wisconsin men’s hockey stars unite on St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues acquired former Wisconsin men’s hockey star Dylan Holloway on Tuesday.

Holloway, who skated with the Badgers from 2019-21, will unite with fellow UW alumnus Ryan Suter with the Blues this season. Suter, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, signed with the Blues in June after a storied career with the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars from 2012-24.

Holloway arrives in St. Louis after his former crew, the Edmonton Oilers, declined to match his offer sheet signed in early August. The Bragg Creek, Alberta native was the first college player selected in the 2020 NHL Draft when he went No. 14 to the Oilers in the first round.

The center logged 16 goals and nine assists in 38 regular-season games a season ago, per St. Louis. The southpaw also suited up for all 25 of the Oilers postseason games en route to Edmonton’s loss in the Stanley Cup Final.

At UW, Holloway was a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as a sophomore, the same season he took home First-Team All-Big Ten team nods and captured a silver medal with Team Canada at World Junior Championship.

Holloway will begin the next chapter of his professional hockey career alongside Suter, a First-Team NHL All-Star and Norris Trophy runner-up with the Minnesota Wild over a decade ago.

Former Wisconsin center has a chance at history in NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 7

Former Wisconsin center has a chance at history in NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 7

Former Wisconsin Badgers and current Edmonton Oilers center Dylan Holloway has a chance at history on Monday night in game seven of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final.

He and the Oilers forced a deciding game seven of the series against the Florida Panthers after falling into a 3-0 series deficit. Holloway and the Oilers are only the first team since the 1944-45 Detroit Red Wings to do so in the Stanley Cup Final. With a win on Monday night, they would be the first to win the series under such circumstances since the Toronto Maple Leafs did it just 82 years ago in 1942.

For further context, NHL teams are 206-4 after building a 3-0 series lead like the Panthers did in this series. The Oilers have the chance to make that record 206-5.

Holloway played for Wisconsin from 2019-2021, totaling 19 goals and 33 assists for 52 total points during that two-year span.

He was selected with the 14th overall pick by the Oilers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft before returning to college for the 2020-21 season. The talented center then officially signed with the Oilers in April of 2021.

Holloway’s NHL career thus far has included 89 games played, nine goals and nine assists. He has added five goals and two assists in the Oilers’ run to the cup final.

Former Wisconsin men’s hockey player among Big Ten alums in NHL Stanley Cup Final

Former Wisconsin men’s hockey left wing Dylan Holloway is one of five Big Ten alums to reach the Stanley Cup Final this summer.

The 6-foot-1, 206-pounder will represent the Edmonton Oilers during their 2024 title run. Pitted against the Florida Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers laced up for game one on Saturday night in Sunrise, Florida.

Holloway will share the ice with fellow conference alumni Zach Hyman, William Lockwood, Mackie Samoskevich and Kyle Okposo. Hyman, Lockwood and Samoskevich represented the University of Michigan during their collegiate tenures, and Okposo attended the University of Minnesota before making the jump to the NHL.

Drafted 14th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft, Holloway played his final season at UW in 2020-21. The same season, he earned a First-Team All-Big Ten nod and was named a Top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as a sophomore.

Holloway appeared in 58 games during his two years in Madison and totaled 19 goals, 33 assists and 52 points from 2019-21.

Through two NHL seasons, the Bragg Creek, Alberta native has registered 18 points in 89 career games in Edmonton. He has scored three goals in 18 playoff games for the Oilers this postseason.
