When one look at the St. Louis Blues\u2019 roster for offensive firepower, Jordan Kyrou stands out as one of the most dynamic forwards<\/a>. Entering his prime years at age 27, Kyrou has already proven himself as a consistent top-line producer. His role on the team ensures he\u2019ll be a centerpiece of St. Louis\u2019s offence again in 2025-26. For those evaluating where to slot him on draft day for fantasy hockey, or even just interested what to expect from the former All-Star this season, understanding his scoring trends, deployment, and upside is crucial.<\/p>\n

Jordan Kyrou 2025-26 Point Projections<\/h2>\n

Consistency in Scoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Over the past five seasons, Kyrou has firmly cemented himself as a 70-point player, posting 75 points in 2021-22, 73 in 2022-23, 67 in 2023-24, and 70 last season. Even when the Blues struggled to generate consistent offence, Kyrou remained one of their most dangerous weapons. His blend of elite skating, quick release, and transition play means he generates chances at even strength regardless of matchups. For those preparing for a fantasy hockey draft, that kind of repeatable skill set is gold, as it doesn\u2019t rely solely on linemates or power-play fortune.<\/p>\n

While Kyrou has not yet cracked the point-per-game threshold, the margin has been thin. With a little more puck luck or team support, he could easily push into the 80-point tier. This makes him one of the safer bets outside of the absolute elite forwards\u2014someone who provides both a reliable floor and exciting upside.<\/p>\n

Developing Chemistry with Dylan Holloway<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One storyline to watch closely in 2025-26 is Kyrou\u2019s dynamic alongside Dylan Holloway. Acquired by St. Louis via offer sheet<\/a>, Holloway injected more speed and offensive upside into the top six. Holloway\u2019s north-south game and ability to attack off the rush was a great complement to Kyrou\u2019s high-end skating and shot. In fact, Kyrou’s numbers considerably dropped in the playoffs<\/a>, in which Holloway was injured.<\/p>\n

Holloway is still establishing himself at the NHL level, but his energy, physicality, and improving finishing ability make him an intriguing running mate. Unlike Robert Thomas, who serves primarily as a pass-first playmaker<\/a>, Holloway\u2019s game leans more toward direct pressure and straight-line attacking. That could open up space for Kyrou to find soft areas in coverage and unleash his shot, while also benefiting from Holloway\u2019s ability to retrieve pucks and extend possessions in the offensive zone.<\/p>\n

Assuming the pair stick together<\/a>, and there is no reason to believe they will not<\/a>, Holloway\u2019s presence could actually give Kyrou more freedom to focus on scoring rather than doing too much of the heavy lifting in transition. This will create a potential bump in goals and shots on goal, especially if the Blues decide to keep them together in a top-six role throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Power-Play Upside<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One area where Kyrou could still grow is on the power play. While his shooting talent makes him a natural fit as a triggerman, the Blues\u2019 man advantage has been inconsistent the past few years. If head coach Jim Montgomery can stabilize the unit and create a more structured attack, Kyrou stands to benefit. Even a modest improvement could boost him from the mid-70s to the low-80s in points. For fantasy managers, this makes Kyrou a sneaky candidate to outperform his draft slot if St. Louis\u2019s special teams click.<\/p>\n
