Joel Hofer made 34 saves for St. Louis, which won 3-1 on Sunday
at Minnesota after going 2-8-1 in its previous 11 games.
Seattle defenseman Vince Dunn had a goal and an assist. Jaden
Schwartz also scored for the Kraken, who had won five in a row
at home without giving up more than two goals in any of them.
Philipp Grubauer stopped 24 shots.
Seattle fell to 2-1 on its six-game homestand and 7-4-0 in its
last 11 overall. The Kraken, who hold the second wild card and
final playoff spot in the Western Conference, remained one point
behind third-place Edmonton in the Pacific Division with a game
in hand on the Oilers.
Holloway gave the Blues a 2-1 lead with his 12th goal at 7:40 of
the second. The 24-year-old forward scored St. Louis' first hat
trick this season and added an assist when he returned from a
sprained ankle to lead the Blues over Seattle 5-1 at home in
their first game back from the Olympic break last Thursday.
Thomas made it 3-1 just 1:33 into the third. Dunn trimmed
Seattle's deficit to one at 13:34.
