Bragg Creek's Dylan Holloway notched two goals last night, including the game-winner, to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 3-2 comeback win over the Nashville Predators, Mar. 27.
Powered by a season-high eight straight wins, the Blues have a grip on the final wild card spot in the NHL's Western Conference with a five-point lead over the Vancouver Canucks and are just two-points behind the Minnesota Wild. They eliminated the Predators from the NHL playoffs with the win.
Aurdrie's Jake Neighbours also had an assist in the win.
Holloway says it was an important win for the club.
"It wasn't our best game by any means; we were kind of fighting it a bit early, but I think that to come back and win a game like that is huge for our team," he said in a post-game media scrum. "I think that's how we grow. It's definitely crucial to know we can do that, but at the same time, we have to sharpen up because we have a big test in Colardo on Saturday."
