Dylan Holloway gets revenge, scoring his first against the Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers are currently facing off against the St. Louis Blues, and former player Dylan Holloway has just notched his first goal against his former team.
Tonight marked Dylan Holloways highly anticipated return to Rogers Place, and he's clearly looking to make a statement following his departure from the Edmonton Oilers.
Dylan Holloway gets revenge on the Edmonton Oilers
St. Louis Blues star Robert Thomas won a puck battle along the boards and made a slick no-look pass to find Dylan Holloway wide open.
The Ex-Oiler wasted no time, sniping one past Stuart Skinner to put the Blues on the board for the first time tonight
It's no secret by now that both Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg were stolen by the St. Louis Blues via offer sheets over the NHL offseason.
Although the news of their departure devastated the fanbase, that sentiment has rapidly changed, as evidenced by the relentless booing tonight at Rogers Place.
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid also gave Dylan Holloway a warm welcome back, delivering a nasty face wash during the 1st period.
Although Philip Broberg appears to be public enemy #1 tonight, Dylan Holloway has received his fair share of heckling from the Oilers fanbase.
Holloway has eight goals and eight assists in 27 games this season. The Oilers could have maneuvered to match his nearly $2.3-million deal, but under new GM Stan Bowman, they opted to let him go.

The Edmonton Oilers will look to close this matchup out with just minutes left in the 3rd period.
