Blues' Joel Hofer: Saddled with loss Monday
Hofer turned aside 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but the Jets outshot the Blues 10-4 in the final frame, and Hofer couldn't keep Alex Iafallo from banging home a rebound at the 7:05 mark after the Blues had blown multiple chances to clear the zone. It was Hofer's first regulation loss since Feb. 6, and in between the 24-year-old netminder had gone 6-0-2 with a 2.20 GAA and a .902 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Drawing start against Winnipeg
Hofer was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Winnipeg.
Hofer has had somewhat limited playing time in recent weeks, but he's been effective when called upon lately. He's in the midst of a five-game winning streak in which he's posted a 1.79 GAA and .921 save percentage. The 24-year-old made two starts against the Jets earlier this year, going 1-0-1 with a 1.92 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Earns win despite conceding four
Hofer stopped 24 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Hofer returned to protecting the Blues' crease after not doing so in the previous two contests, but he managed to keep his winning run alive. He's now come out on top in each of his last five starts, and he has also allowed two or fewer goals four times over that stretch. That translates to an outstanding 1.79 GAA and an excellent .921 save percentage across his five-game winning run.

Hofer was the first goaltender off during Thursday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Penguins.
Hofer has started in just one of the Blues' last four games, but he's been productive over a limited sample in recent weeks. Across his last four starts, he's gone 4-0-0 with a 1.25 GAA and .942 save percentage. The Penguins are generating 2.89 goals per game this season, which ranks 19th in the league.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Secures win over Preds
Hofer stopped 16 of 18 shots in a 3-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Hofer is riding a four-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.25 GAA and .942 save percentage. Due to the 24-year-old backstop playing this well, he could continue to see a decent share of the workload, perhaps even splitting the starts with Jordan Binnington heading into the final weeks of the 2024-25 campaign.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Sharp in Saturday's win
Hofer made 26 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
Ilya Mikheyev's shorthanded tally inside the final minute of the second period spoiled Hofer's shutout bid, but the St. Louis netminder stood tall and won his third straight start. The 24-year-old hasn't taken a regulation loss since Feb. 6, going 4-0-2 over his last eight appearances with a .912 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Excellent in win Tuesday
Hofer stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Nashville.
Hofer has won his past two starts, but even more impressive than the record has been his overall performance. He's stopped 39 of 41 shots faced over that two-game stretch. Over his last four appearances, Hofer has gone 2-0-1 with a 1.26 GAA and a .939 save percentage. He's not expected to takeover the starting role from Jordan Binnington, but he's proving to be a reliable option between the pipes every time the Blues have needed him.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Nashville
Hofer will tend the road twine Tuesday in Nashville, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Hofer was solid in Saturday's 5-1 win over Minnesota, turning aside 17 of 18 shots on goal. The Manitoba native has a 12-7-3 record, 2.78 GAA and .901 save percentage through 26 outings in 2024-25. He has a favorable assignment against a Nashville squad that has generated 2.58 goals per game this season, the second-worst mark in the NHL.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Light work in win
Hofer stopped 17 of 18 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.
Hofer took care of business in a game where the Wild were limited to just a Jake Middleton goal off a turnover in the second period. The 24-year-old Hofer picked up his first win since Feb. 27 versus the Capitals, though two of his three outings in March have been less than full games -- he was pulled from a start and made a brief relief appearance. The young netminder is now at 12-7-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 26 appearances. Look for Jordan Binnington to get the start Sunday versus the Ducks.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Minnesota
Hofer will get the road start Saturday against the Wild, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Hofer will get the start Saturday after making a late relief appearance in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old Hofer has gone 11-7-3 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA while backing up Jordan Binnington this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Makes relief appearance
Hofer stopped both shots he faced in relief of Jordan Binnington in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Binnington was pulled after giving up a goal to Bryan Rust in the third period, and Hofer was barely tested after entering the contest. The Penguins' last tally was an empty-netter. Hofer has allowed seven goals on 52 shots over four appearances (three starts) since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, as the Blues have tried to ride the momentum of Binnington backstopping Canada to the tournament win. Hofer's likely to be limited to backup duties up until the point the Blues are eliminated from playoff contention, which could go down to the wire. However, a back-to-back this weekend -- at Minnesota on Saturday, at home versus the Ducks on Sunday -- should allow each netminder to get a start.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Falls short in overtime
Hofer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.
Hofer was pulled from his previous start last Sunday versus the Stars after giving up three goals on nine shots. This was a much better performance, but he came up short when Quinton Byfield ripped home the game-winning goal 27 seconds into overtime. Hofer slipped to 3-4-2 over 11 appearances since the start of January, and he's now 11-7-3 with a 2.89 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. The Blues play three games in four days for the next fantasy week, including a back-to-back next weekend, so look for Hofer to get another start in that span.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Los Angeles
Hofer will protect the road crease Saturday versus the Kings, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Hofer surrendered three goals on nine shots in his last start Sunday versus Dallas before ceding the net to Jordan Binnington in the second period. Hofer holds an 11-7-2 record, .899 save percentage and 2.93 GAA over 23 appearances this season. The Kings have scored two goals or fewer in five straight games, giving Hofer a favorable chance to get back on the right track.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Pulled after one period
Hofer stopped six of nine shots in the first period of Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.
He got a bit of a quick hook after one period with the Blues down 3-2. Hofer was spared the loss, as the Blues were able to cover his damage, though Jordan Binnington (nine saves on 12 shots) didn't have a good relief appearance. Hofer remains at 11-7-2 for the season, but his GAA rose from 2.83 to 2.93 while his save percentage dropped from .902 to .899 over 23 appearances. It's not a good start to the Blues' road trip, which continues with three games in California over the next week (two against Los Angeles, one against Anaheim). Hofer is likely to start one of those games.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Dallas
Hofer will guard the road goal against the Stars on Sunday, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Hofer will get the second half of St. Louis' back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings. The 24-year-old Hofer has posted a record of 11-7-2 with one shutout, a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. Dallas ranks fourth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Gives up two goals, earns win
Hofer stopped 16 of 18 shots in Thursday's win over the Capitals.
Hofer returned to the ice after operating as the backup to Jordan Binnington in the previous two contests, and Hofer earned a win for the first time since Jan. 16, when he stopped 28 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Flames. Hofer has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and a .900 save percentage across three appearances in February, but his fantasy upside is limited given his backup role and limited opportunities to protect the Blues' crease.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Gets starting nod against Caps
Hofer will tend the twine on the road versus Washington on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Hofer has failed to secure a victory in his last five appearances, going 0-3-1 with a 3.35 GAA. Despite the 24-year-old netminder's struggles, he has played in five of the Blues' last 13 outings, taking some extra starts away from Jordan Binnington. Unless Hofer can start racking up wins, he could find himself relegated to just back-to-backs moving forward.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Loses in shootout
Hofer stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.
Hofer was unable to snap his losing streak -- he's 0-3-1 over his last five outings, with 15 goals allowed in that span. This one will sting, as Pavel Buchnevich gave the Blues the lead with 2:50 to go, only for Gabriel Vilardi's second goal of the game to tie it with 28 seconds left in regulation. Hofer was then bested by Kyle Connor in the shootout after the Winnipeg winger came up short on 10 shots in the first 65 minutes. Hofer is down to 10-7-2 with a 2.88 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 21 appearances. He started Saturday to afford Jordan Binnington some rest after his time with Team Canada, but it's likely to be Binnington in goal against his fellow countrymen Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, as well as the rest of the Avalanche, for Sunday's contest.
