Holloway scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both scratched, Holloway saw his first extended look on Edmonton's power-play unit this season. The 22-year-old forward made the opportunity count, deflecting a Philip Broberg shot for the Oilers' lone tally in the loss. Holloway was effective down the stretch, posting three goals and five points in his final six games after recording just four points (three goals, one assist) in his first 32 contests this season.

Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal on four shots, added two assists, went plus-3 and logged four hits in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

Rotowire
Holloway (illness) returned to practice Sunday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Scores in big win
Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal on two shots and levied three hits in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Red Wings.
The tally snapped a five-game drought for Holloway. The 22-year-old is getting a long look in a third-line role this time around, though he's still not scoring enough to earn much fantasy attention. For the season, he's produced three goals, one assist, 33 shots on net, 44 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 22 outings.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Adds assist in NHL return
Rotowire
Holloway recorded an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Holloway spent most of January in the AHL after recovering from a lower-body injury. His assist Saturday was just his second point in 15 NHL contests, but his stint with Bakersfield appears to have renewed his confidence. The 22-year-old will likely continue to see fourth-line minutes with the Oilers, though he could eventually earn second-unit power-play time if he performs well.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Could be back near Christmas
Rotowire
Holloway (lower body) is expected to return either just before or after the Christmas break, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Holloway has been on long-term injured reserve since suffering an injury Nov. 13. He was eligible to come off LTIR on Dec. 10, but it sounds like he'll need at least another week or so after that date. Once Holloway is cleared, Adam Erne and Sam Gagner are the forwards at the most risk of losing their place in the lineup.

Holloway (undisclosed) left Monday's game versus the Islanders and didn't return, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch didn't provide an update on Holloway's status after the game. With Connor Brown (undisclosed) and Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) also absent from the lineup, the Oilers may have to play short Wednesday versus the Kraken if Holloway is unable to suit up.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Deposits first goal of season
Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal, blocked two shots and added 11 PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
Holloway scored late in the first period, as he was left wide open at the side of the net to collect an odd carom off the glass. The tally was his first point in 13 appearances this season. He saw 13:05 of ice time Saturday, though he's often been in a bottom-six role with little chance to make an impact in the Oilers' top-heavy offense. Holloway has produced 23 shots on net, 25 hits, eight blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Exits in third period
Rotowire
Holloway appeared to block a shot with his wrist before exiting Wednesday's game versus the Canucks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Holloway logged four shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in 12:08 of ice time prior to his exit. The 22-year-old forward started the year in a third-line role, though an early injury would likely hamper his ability to move up the lineup. More information on his status should be available prior to Saturday's home opener against the Canucks.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Earns first multi-point game
Rotowire
Holloway notched a pair of assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Holloway earned his first two-point game in the NHL. He helped out on Derek Ryan's second-period tally and Ryan McLeod's insurance goal in the third. Since the start of January, Holloway has picked up two goals and three assists over eight games, seeing a slightly increased role when injuries thinned the Oilers' lineup. He'll likely move back to the bottom six now that Evander Kane (wrist) is healthy, but Holloway could earn more ice time if he continues to get involved on offense. The rookie has nine points, 34 shots on net, 59 hits, 25 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 42 appearances.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Garners helper Friday
Rotowire
Holloway notched an assist and six PIM in Friday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.
Holloway set up Ryan McLeod's goal, which was the Oilers' seventh and last tally of the game. The 21-year-old Holloway also took a minor penalty in each period, which shows there's still some growth for him to make before he can be trusted with a larger workload. He's earned three points over his last five games and now has seven points, 55 hits, 32 shots on net and 25 PIM in 40 outings overall.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Opens scoring in blowout win
Rotowire
Holloway scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
Holloway was the latest player to get a look in the top six, playing alongside Connor McDavid in this contest. The switch paid off almost immediately, as Holloway tallied 3:24 into the game. The tally was his second in the last four games, but his offense remains just as limited as his ice time. The 21-year-old rookie has three goals, three helpers, 31 shots on net, 54 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 39 outings.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Adds assist in big win
Rotowire
Holloway produced an assist in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Coyotes.
Holloway saw 15:05 of ice time in the blowout win, his second-highest total of the year. It's unlikely to be a regular occurrence, but with the Oilers looking for any chemistry among their depth scorers, he could be due for more playing time. The rookie winger is at one goal, three assists, 14 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-5 rating through 23 outings.

Oilers' Dylan Holloway: Earns first career helper
Rotowire
Holloway produced an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
Holloway picked up the secondary assist on Connor McDavid's third-period tally. The helper was Holloway's first NHL point, coming in his fifth regular season contest -- he made his debut in the Oilers' Game 4 loss to the Avalanche in last season's Western Conference Finals. The 21-year-old has seen extremely limited usage in a bottom-six role. He saw only 5:29 of ice time Saturday, so it's possible Holloway could be on the verge of heading to AHL Bakersfield to get more productive playing time.

Holloway (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Blackhawks, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
