On Wednesday night in Seattle, the St. Louis Blues defeated the Seattle Kraken 3-2, with forward Dylan Holloway scoring the decisive goal in the second period. The victory puts the Blues in a stronger position as the NHL trade deadline approaches, with the team showing renewed energy and determination on the road.
Key Players Propel St. Louis to Consecutive Road Wins
Brayden Schenn contributed three assists while Robert Thomas added a goal and an assist. Defenseman Logan Mailloux also found the net as the Blues, despite sitting in last place, improved their away record to 9-17-3. Goaltender Joel Hofer played a significant role by making 34 saves to secure St. Louis’ second straight road victory against difficult playoff opponents. The Blues had recently snapped a rough patch, winning 3-1 at Minnesota after a challenging stretch that saw them go 2-8-1 in eleven games.
Seattle Kraken’s Efforts Fall Short in Home Defeat
Seattle’s defenseman Vince Dunn scored a goal and assisted another, while Jaden Schwartz also scored for the Kraken. Seattle had been riding a five-game home winning streak with strong defensive performances, not allowing more than two goals in any of those games. Goalie Philipp Grubauer stopped 24 shots but was unable to prevent the Blues’ comeback.
Holloway’s Impact Continues to Grow This Season
Dylan Holloway’s game-winning goal at 7:40 of the second period marked his 12th of the season. The 24-year-old forward recently returned from a sprained ankle and had delivered a standout performance in the Blues’ first game back from the Olympic break, recording the team’s first hat trick of the season in a 5-1 victory over Seattle in St. Louis.
NHL Trade Deadline Approaches with Potential Blues Moves
The NHL trade deadline for the 2025-26 season is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT on Friday. The Blues are expected to be active in the trade market and reportedly reached an agreement to send longtime defenseman Colton Parayko to the Buffalo Sabres, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. However, because Parayko has a no-trade clause, he must decide within 24 hours whether to waive or exercise it to allow the trade to proceed.
Upcoming Games for Both Teams
Following this win, St. Louis will visit the San Jose Sharks on Friday night as part of a four-game road trip. Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken will host the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night as they look to bounce back at home.
