Late in the first period, medical personnel had to take Dylan Holloway away on a stretcher after he took a Nick Paul shot to the neck.
The Blues forward skated around the ice immediately after blocking the shot and appeared just fine for several moments.
Holloway then started to wince and made his way to the bench.
Blues coaches and staff members managed to lie him down on the team bench before he was taken away on a stretcher:
NHL insider Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reports that the 23-year-old “will be OK.” Holloway’s airway is said to be “clear,” and he isn’t having any breathing problems.
Seravalli additionally reports that Holloway is going to undergo a precautionary scan, and that his parents are with him at the hospital.
