St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway suffered a frightening injury during Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The incident occurred late in the first period when Holloway was struck by a puck in the neck area, leading to a scary moment on the ice.
Despite being hit by the puck, Holloway showed incredible resilience by finishing his shift and continuing to play before eventually making his way to the bench under his own power.
It was evident that the severity of the injury was serious as teammates and medical staff quickly rushed to his aid. Blues trainer Ray Barile and medical personnel from both teams worked diligently to assess Holloway’s condition before deciding to transport him off the bench on a stretcher.
During the ordeal, Holloway displayed signs of consciousness and stability, raising his arm as he was being taken off the ice. The Blues later confirmed that he was alert and stable, but as a precautionary measure, he was being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
The referees halted play and initiated the first intermission early to allow for proper medical attention to be given to Holloway. The entire hockey community rallied behind the injured player, sending thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
