Blues Sign Goaltender Holt

The St. Louis Blues announced on Thursday that they have signed goaltender Chris Holt. Terms or length of the deal were not disclosed. Holt has played in two games so far this season with the Blues' AHL affiliate in Peoria. He has a record of 2-0-0 thus far with a .915 save percentage and a 2.00 goals against average. Holt had spent the past three seasons in the New York Rangers minor league system, playing with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL and Charlotte Checkers of ECHL. The signing was likely done given Holt's strong play thus far and the Blues' current injury woes to their goaltending. Holt likely won't see any playing time in the NHL, but if the Blues continue to lose goaltenders to injury, there's a chance he could get called up.
