Jordan Binnington started Thursday, but Hofer stepped in after Binnington allowed three goals on 11 shots.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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. The Blues look to be getting the 24-year-old a start in one of every three games, so he'll likely play during the team's upcoming road back-to-back with games against the Lightning on Thursday and the Panthers on Friday.

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

Impact 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.

Impact Vancouver came back from a 3-1 deficit, but Hofer didn't let them get ahead. The Blues dominated overtime, culminating in Dylan Holloway's game-winning tally. Hofer has won his last three outings, stopping 71 of 77 shots in those contests. He's now 6-3-0 with a 2.93 GAA and a .902 save percentage through nine appearances.

Hofer stopped 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 win over the Rangers on Nov. 25 to begin his current winning streak.

Set to start Tuesday Hofer was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Randip Janda of Sportsnet 650, indicating he will defend the road net Tuesday against Vancouver.

Impact Hofer has won his last two outings, stopping 49 of 52 shots. He has a 5-3-0 record with one shutout, a 2.93 GAA and a .904 save percentage across eight appearances this season. Vancouver ranks 10th in the league with 3.27 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sharp in win Hofer allowed one goal on 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Hofer picked up his second win in a row to bounce back from a three-game losing streak. The 24-year-old has run a little streaky in the backup role for the Blues this year -- he won his first three starts of the season. He's now 5-3-0 with a 2.93 GAA and a .904 save percentage over eight appearances. Hofer has played once every three or four games for the most part, so it's unclear when he might start again since the Blues don't have a back-to-back on their road trip through western Canada. Their next stop is Thursday in Calgary.

Guarding road crease Hofer will be between the pipes in Tuesday's road game against the Jets, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Hofer will make his first start in eight days -- the 24-year-old was solid in his last appearance, stopping 27 of 29 shots in a 5-2 win over the Rangers. It was the Manitoba's native first victory since Oct. 19, as he hasn't received much work as Jordan Binnington's understudy. Hofer will have a tough matchup against a Winnipeg team that ranks third in the NHL with 3.76 goals per game through 25 contests.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Solid showing in win over Rangers Hofer stopped 27 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Hofer snapped a three-game losing streak with a solid showing against the Rangers, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about this performance. He should return to his backup role behind Jordan Binnington for the upcoming games, meaning Hofer will only have upside as a streaming, matchup-based option in games where Binnington gets some rest. Hofer is 4-3-0 with a 3.23 GAA and an .899 save percentage in seven appearances this season.

Exits ice first Monday Hofer was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road against the Rangers.

Impact Hofer has played in just three of the Blues' last 16 contests, losing all three outings while posting a 4.82 GAA. Unfortunately for the team, there isn't a strong candidate within its system to call up from the minors to challenge Hofer for the No. 2 job. Instead, look for Jordan Binnington to see a heavy workload until Hofer can find his game.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Subpar performance in loss Hofer allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Hofer allowed three goals at even strength and one on the power play. After starting the season with three straight wins, the 24-year-old has lost three consecutive outings. It was the Winnipeg's native first start in 10 days, as Jordan Binnington continues to see the bulk of the workload between the pipes. Hofer has a 3-3-0 record, .893 save percentage and 3.45 GAA through six contests.

Tending twine Sunday Hofer will guard the road goal against Carolina on Sunday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Hofer will get the second half of the Blues' back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston. The 24-year-old Hofer has a 3-2-0 record with a 3.33 GAA and a .903 save percentage through five appearances this season. Carolina ranks fourth in the league with 4.00 goals per game and earned a 4-0 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

Tagged with loss Thursday Hofer allowed three goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Utah.

Impact After opening the campaign with three consecutive victories, Hofer has lost his last two outings while giving up a combined eight goals over that span. The 24-year-old netminder wasn't given much help in Thursday's contest -- Utah outshot St. Louis by more than a two-to-one margin. Through five appearances in 2024-25, Hofer is sporting a 3-2-0 record, .903 save percentage and 3.33 GAA.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

First goalie off Thursday Hofer exited the ice first Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home versus Utah.

Impact Hofer was pulled in his previous appearance after giving up five goals on 21 shots against the Senators. With no back-to-backs on the recent schedule, the Blues have only deployed Hofer in one of their last seven outings, despite having started the season on a three-game winning streak. If he can avoid another quick exit Thursday, perhaps the Winnipeg native can earn more opportunities in the rest of November.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Gets hook against Sens Hofer gave up five goals on 21 shots before being replaced by Jordan Binnington midway through the second period in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Neither goalie got much help from their defense in the rout, and the last two goals against Hofer came on Ottawa power play. It's the first loss of the season for the 24-year-old netminder, who's posted a 3-1-0 record with a 3.40 GAA and .903 save percentage through four appearances as the Blues' No. 2 goalie.

Looking to extend unbeaten streak Hofer will make his fourth start of the season in Tuesday's road matchup versus the Senators, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Hofer will look to extend his season-opening win streak to four against an Ottawa club that ranks sixth in the league offensively with 3.75 goals per game. The 24-year-old has turned aside a combined 96 of 103 shots through three appearances en route to a 3-0-0 record, .932 save percentage and 2.32 GAA.
