  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Suffers third straight loss

    Hofer gave up three goals on 34 shots in a 3-2 defeat to Florida on Thursday.

    Hofer has now been on the losing end of three straight contests, going 0-3-0 with a 3.53 GAA in his last four outings -- one of which was a no-decision relief appearance. Given Jordan Binnington's underwhelming numbers -- he's 14-19-4 with a .899 save percentage -- the opportunity is there for Hofer to see more starts, but he hasn't been able to grab the reins.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine against Florida

    Hofer will defend the home crease against the Panthers on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Hofer wasn't particularly dominant over limited playing time in January, going 2-3-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .898 save percentage over six appearances. He didn't appear in either of the Blues' last two games but will draw the start against the Panthers, who rank sixth in the NHL with 3.27 goals per game.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: On wrong side of shutout

    Hofer allowed five goals on 36 shots in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Avalanche.

    Hofer ended January on a sour note, giving up four of the five goals in the first period. That meant the Blues never really stood a chance, though they didn't make much of an effort at a comeback, totaling just 19 shots on net for the game. Hofer went 2-3-0 with 17 goals allowed over six outings (five starts) in January, and he's now 10-6-1 with a 2.87 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 19 appearances. Jordan Binnington isn't exactly dominating the crease, but Hofer's inconsistent play makes him a risky option in fantasy. The Blues wrap up this two-game road trip in Utah on Sunday.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: First goalie off

    Hofer was the first goalie off the ice at Friday's morning skate, Colleen Flynn of Colorado Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll start on the road against Colorado.

    Hofer has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, but he'll start Friday after entering Monday's game against Vancouver midway through the second period. Over five appearances this month, the 24-year-old has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.74 GAA and .908 save percentage.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Needed in relief Monday

    Hofer turned aside 10 of the 11 shots he faced after replacing Jordan Binnington midway through the second period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

    The Blues were thoroughly outplayed on the night, and the switch in the crease did little to spark the team -- the one goal Hofer allowed came on a shorthanded breakaway by Pius Suter. The 24-year-old netminder has posted better numbers than Binnington in January, going 2-2-0 in five appearances with a 2.74 GAA and a .908 save percentage, but for now, he's still No. 2 on the depth chart.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Can't fend off Vegas

    Hofer allowed three goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth marker was an empty-netter.

    The Blues were forced to chase the game early due to Mark Stone scoring after a Cam Fowler turnover just 19 seconds into the contest. Hofer would allow one more goal at even strength and one on the power play en route to his first loss since Jan. 4. Jordan Binnington has made twice as many starts as Hofer this season, but the latter's numbers have been marginally better, so it'll be interesting to see how head coach Jim Montgomery handles his goaltenders down the stretch. Hofer is sporting a 10-5-1 record, .906 save percentage and 2.77 GAA through 17 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Between the pipes Thursday

    Hofer will patrol the home crease versus Vegas on Thursday, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

    Hofer has won his last two starts, allowing three goals on 52 shots in victories over Anaheim and Calgary. The wins pushed Hofer's record to 10-4-1, with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. Vegas is generating 3.38 goals per game, fourth in the NHL in 2024-25.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Sharp in Thursday's win

    Hofer turned aside 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

    His second shutout of the season slipped away in the second period, when Yegor Sharangovich used a screen to find the back of the net, but otherwise Hofer was locked in. The 24-year-old goalie has just one regulation loss since the beginning of December, going 6-1-1 in nine outings with a 2.36 GAA and .913 save percentage, but he remains behind Jordan Binnington on the Blues' depth chart in the crease.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting Thursday

    Hofer will guard the home crease versus Calgary on Thursday, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

    Hofer gave up two goals on 23 shots in a 6-2 victory over Anaheim on Jan. 9, the last time he was between the pipes. Hofer is 9-4-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 15 appearances this season. He will face the Flames, who are averaging 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 27th in the league.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Cruises to win

    Hofer allowed two goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

    The Blues spotted Hofer a 4-0 lead before he let in a goal, and that initial lead was never threatened. Hofer has allowed 11 goals over his last three games, but he's won two of them. The 24-year-old is now 9-4-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 15 appearances this season. A little consistency could go a long way for Hofer to try to challenge Jordan Binnington's grip on the No. 1 role in goal.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Guarding cage versus Ducks

    Hofer will be in goal at home against Anaheim on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Hofer has been relatively consistent in limited action this season, going 8-4-1 with a 2.92 GAA, .901 save percentage and one shutout in 14 outings. With Jordan Binnington struggling for that same consistency -- he's recorded two shutouts in his last five outings while also giving up four or more goals twice -- the 24-year-old Hofer could be seen as a steadying force between the pipes and earn some more opportunities.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Soft goals were downfall in loss

    Hofer made 33 saves in a 6-4 loss to Columbus on Saturday.

    He allowed five goals, a couple of which were as soft as toffee. It was a bad game for Hofer, who is 1-1-1 with 11 goals allowed in his last three games. His season has been up and down like a yo-yo, and that makes him a tough fantasy play. Hofer started the year with three straight wins followed by three consecutive losses. He then rang up four wins in a row before this recent stretch. Hofer is a fantasy risk, so look elsewhere until his game stabilizes.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Slated to start Saturday

    Hofer will start on the road versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Hofer will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Jordan Binnington starts Friday. Hofer went 4-0-1 with a 2.18 GAA and a .914 save percentage over six games in December. The 24-year-old has often started once every two or three contests, though this will be his first start in four games after he allowed four goals in a 7-4 win over the Predators on Dec. 27.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Allows four goals in win

    Hofer gave up four goals on 30 shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.

    Hofer wasn't at his best -- this was the fourth time he's given up at least four games this season -- but he received plenty of support. He's getting results when he plays, going 4-0-1 over his appearances in December. For the season, the 24-year-old goalie is 8-3-1 with a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 13 appearances in 2024-25. Hofer has started consecutive contests just once this season, so it's likely Jordan Binnington will get the nod versus the Sabres on Sunday.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Set to face Nashville

    Hofer is expected to start at home against Nashville on Friday, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

    Hofer has a 7-3-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage in 12 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 25 of 27 shots en route a 2-1 overtime loss to Florida in his previous start last Friday. Nashville is a more favorable matchup than Florida was -- the Predators rank last in goals per game with 2.40.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Gives up game-winner in OT

    Hofer stopped 25 of 27 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

    Including an appearance in relief during a 3-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday, Hofer has gone 1-0-1 with a 1.61 GAA and a .935 save percentage in his last three outings. He's been a reliable option as the backup for Jordan Binnington while seeing playing time every two or three contests.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Set to start Friday

    Hofer is expected to start on the road against Florida on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Hofer has a 7-3-1 record, 2.72 GAA and .907 save percentage in 11 appearances in 2024-25. Jordan Binnington started Thursday, but Hofer stepped in after Binnington allowed three goals on 11 shots. Hofer stopped the seven shots he faced over 24:21 of ice time, though the Blues still suffered a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Florida ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.58.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Perfect in relief

    Hofer stopped all seven shots he faced in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Lightning after replacing Jordan Binnington.

    Hofer has looked the better of the Blues' two netminders of late, going 4-0-0 with a 1.80 GAA and .929 save percentage in his last five outings. With a back-to-back on the schedule, Hofer will likely be right back at it versus the Panthers on the road Friday and could even steal away some additional starts with another strong outing.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Fends off Rangers

    Hofer stopped 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

    Hofer picked up his fourth straight win. He had a shutout going until the middle of the third period, when he allowed both goals in a span of 1:19, but the Rangers couldn't find the equalizer. Hofer improved to 7-3-0 overall with a 2.83 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 10 starts. He has been starting about once every three games for the Blues, so Hofer will likely play during the team's upcoming road back-to-back against the Lightning on Thursday and the Panthers on Friday.

  • Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting Sunday

    Hofer will protect the home net versus the Rangers on Sunday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Hofer has a 6-3-0 record with one shutout, a 2.93 GAA and a .902 save percentage through nine outings this season. He will get the second half of St. Louis' back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Dallas. The Rangers lost 5-1 to the Kings on Saturday.
