Holden notched an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Holden found Max Pacioretty for the go-ahead goal with 4:33 left in the the third period. The 34-year-old Holden has collected five helpers through eight playoff contests. The defenseman has added 26 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating since he entered the lineup, and his solid play has helped cover for the absence of Brayden McNabb (COVID-19 protocols).

Holden recorded an assist, four shots on goal and six hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Wild in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Holden was credited with a secondary helper on Mattias Janmark's opening tally at 5:09 of the first period. In his last five games, Holden has racked up four helpers, 18 hits and six shots on net. He's mostly a defensive presence, but the Alberta native hasn't been a liability in the opponent's zone when he's in the lineup.

Holden posted an assist and four hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Holden helped out on Mark Stone's opening tally in the first period. The 34-year-old Holden has impressed in his three appearances so far -- he's racked up three assists and 10 hits in a third-pairing role. While he shouldn't be counted on for much offense, the Golden Knights will want the Alberta native in the lineup for his steadying veteran presence.

Holden notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Holden made his first appearance since April 9 in place of Nicolas Hague (healthy scratch). The lineup adjustment from head coach Pete DeBoer worked, as Holden steadied the defense on the third pairing and helped out on tallies by Patrick Brown and Reilly Smith in the second period. The 34-year-old Holden's strong outing could lead to more playing time during the postseason as a no-nonsense veteran presence.

Holden was promoted to the active roster Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Holden will likely fill a depth role for the Golden Knights during the playoffs. The veteran defenseman has been passed by Nicolas Hague and Dylan Coghlan on the depth chart. Holden hasn't played since April 9, and he produced only two assists in 17 contests this year.

Holden recorded an assist and two PIM in Monday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Holden set up Tomas Nosek for the opening tally at 6:25 of the first period. The 33-year-old Holden has seemingly passed Dylan Coghlan on the depth chart since Zach Whitecloud (upper body) has been out. Holden's played in the last two games. He has two helpers, 21 shots on net, 24 hits and 19 blocked shots in 15 appearances. His limited role on the third pairing makes the veteran defenseman a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Holden was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holden has been a healthy scratch for nine of Vegas' last 11 games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 33-year-old blueliner has tallied one assist in 13 contests this season.
