Dylan Holloway scored twice, including the tiebreaker with 7:41 left, as the visiting St. Louis Blues extended their winning streak to eight games with a 3-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

St. Louis (39-28-7, 85 points) tied it at 2-2 with 8:03 remaining, when a wide-open Cam Fowler drove the puck by Nashville netminder Juuse Saros (18 saves).

Less than 30 seconds later, Holloway got to a loose puck in the slot, amid a host of Predators, and sent a wrister past Saros to give the Blues their first lead of the night and stun the home crowd.

Robert Thomas had two assists for the Blues, who managed just 21 shots on goal but held Nashville to 18.

The Blues have won eight in a row for the first time since April 2022. St. Louis, amid a 15-2-2 stretch, also swept the four-game season series by beating the Predators (27-37-8, 62 points) for a third time in 10 days.

Fedor Svechkov and Brady Skjei tallied first-period goals for Nashville, which has lost six of eight since winning four straight. The Predators' Jonathan Marchessault appeared to tie the contest with a goal just before the final horn, but review showed it came after time expired.

For the first time in four tries vs. St. Louis this season, Nashville opened the scoring. Just 2:48 in, Michael Bunting, stationed behind the Blues' net, sent a pass into the high slot for Svechkov to wrist over the right shoulder of St. Louis' Joel Hofer (16 saves).

The Predators made it 2-0 with 9:44 remaining in the first. On the power play, Skjei sent the puck through traffic and past Hofer.

St. Louis finally got on the board with 9:25 left in the second. Off a Nashville turnover, Holloway's drive went through the legs of the Predators' Michael McCarron and just by a late-reacting Saros.

Hofer has allowed five goals while winning four straight starts for the Blues, who have won three consecutive on the road.
