Blues Forward Named NHL's Third Star Of The Week

ST. LOUIS -- The NHL has announced its three stars of the week for the week ending March 23, and St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway has been named the third star, behind Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson and Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel.

Holloway had seven points (one goal, six assists) in four games, helping the Blues (37-28-7) go 4-0-0 over the past week to vault the team four points clear of the Calgary Flames for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference; the Blues are currently on a six-game winning streak. 

Holloway had three assists in a 4-1 win against the Nashville Predators last Tuesday, then on Thursday, he had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win against the Vancouver Canucks and capped the weekend with an assist in back-to-back wins over the Chicago Blackhawks (4-1) Saturday and Predators (4-1) on Sunday to extend his point streak to seven games (three goals, eight assists). It is tied for the longest active streak in the NHL. 

Overall, Holloway led the league with six assists for the week while his seven points shared the lead and his plus-5 rating shared third.   

Holloway is third on the Blues with 58 points (23 goals, 35 assists).
