**Dylan Holloway Recovering Well After Scary In-Game Injury**

Dylan Holloway made a swift return to Centene Community Ice Center on Wednesday morning, despite a harrowing incident less than 15 hours earlier. During Tuesday's tightly contested 3-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Holloway was struck in the neck by an errant puck, leading to him being stretchered off and taken to the hospital.

"I feel good today. I feel way better," Holloway shared with reporters. "It was definitely a scary moment. They told me the puck hit the vagus nerve in my neck. Right after getting hit, I felt something was off, but I was too focused on the 2-on-1 opportunity to stop. Once I reached the bench, I started feeling woozy. I don't remember much until I was on the stretcher, heading to the ambulance."

The game came to a halt with just 1:11 remaining in the first period as Blues medical staff, led by Head Athletic Trainer Ray Barile, rushed to Holloway's aid on the bench. After undergoing hospital tests, Holloway was discharged around 11 p.m.

Advised to avoid strenuous activities for the next 24 hours, Holloway remains optimistic about his quick recovery. "As far as I'm concerned, I feel good," he confidently stated. "I feel pretty normal and ready to go."

Holloway is eagerly anticipating a return to the game on Thursday, feeling determined and hopeful after the nerve-racking incident.
