Dylan Holloway is set to undergo a recovery process following surgery for an undisclosed injury, with expectations to return for the 2025-26 season. Holloway, a pivotal forward for the St. Louis Blues, had a standout season before his injury, finishing with 26 goals and 37 assists across 77 games. His absence was felt during the playoffs, where the Blues fell to the Winnipeg Jets in the first round.

The situation is less optimistic for veteran defenseman Torey Krug, who missed the entire last season due to invasive ankle surgery aimed at addressing pre-arthritic conditions. General Manager Doug Armstrong has indicated that while Krug is hopeful for a return, the prognosis remains uncertain.
