    Perry Nelson-Imagn Images - St. Louis Blues Player To Watch vs. Vancouver Canucks: Dylan Holloway

    Let's not try and make a mountain out of a molehill while trying to pick a St. Louis Blues player to watch Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks.

    Forward Dylan Holloway has got it going on right now and we're sticking with him in this spot.

    Holloway, in his first season in St. Louis since signing an offer sheet in August along with defenseman Philip Broberg, is one player that's really benefited from the coaching change of Drew Bannister to Jim Montgomery.

    The 23-year-old is riding a career-best six-game point streak (five goals, four assists). Prior to that in 22 games, he had eight points (four goals, four assists).

    Prior to the coaching change, Holloway was averaging 15:15 time on ice and 0.36 points per game. Under Montgomery, he's averaging 1:11 more ice time (16:26) and 1.5 points per game.

    Against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, Holloway played with Oskar Sundqvist and Zack Bolduc and they had a Corsi-for at 15-10, a Fenwick-for of 11-6.

    So no matter where you play Holloway, he seems thrive whoever his linemates may be. We'll continue to ride the hot hand, in that case.
