JOEL HOFER NEWS

Earns win Friday Hofer stopped 27 of 29 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Hofer is pushing his way into a larger share of the crease, as he's now won three of his last four starts. In that span, which covers six appearances, he's yielded just nine goals on 146 shots, good for a .938 save percentage. Overall, Hofer has a 5-6-2 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 17 appearances. He'll likely continue to share the crease with Jordan Binnington, but Hofer could be in line for more usage if he continues to put together strong outings.

Makes relief appearance Hofer stopped six of seven shots in relief of Jordan Binnington in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact Hofer played the third period and gave up a power-play goal to Michael Bunting. Hofer has allowed seven goals on 117 shots over his last five outings, two of which have come in relief. If he keeps this up, the 25-year-old could end up taking over the starting role for the Blues, though the team's overall struggles will still keep Hofer from being much of an option in fantasy.

On the season, Hofer has a 3.18 GAA, an .891 save percentage and a 4-6-2 record in 15 outings.

Good effort in relief outing Hofer stopped 19 of 20 shots in relief of Jordan Binnington in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Hofer entered the game midway through the first period after Binnington was pulled following the Ducks' second goal. Hofer did well to keep things close, but the Blues' offense couldn't give him any support. Hofer was able to avoid the loss, as Binnington was responsible for the decisive goal. For the season, Hofer is 3-5-2 with a 3.29 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 13 appearances. Inconsistency from both goalies has prevented either from breaking away with the starting job, though Binnington has had an edge in starts. The Blues begin a three-game road trip in Boston on Thursday, and a back-to-back over the weekend in Ottawa on Saturday and Montreal on Sunday should allow both goalies to get playing time soon.
