Stellar in Boston Hofer stopped 36 of 37 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Hofer was nearly perfect Monday, allowing just a lone tally to David Pastrnak early in the third period, as he picked up his first win in over a month. The 23-year-old Hofer had gone 0-3-0 in his last four appearances, sporting an .893 save percentage in that span. He improves to 11-11-0 on the season with a .915 save percentage and 2.79 GAA. Hofer should continue to see occasional work behind Jordan Binnington down the stretch.

Set to face Bruins Hofer will defend the road net Monday against Boston, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hofer has gone 0-3-0 over his past four outings, surrendering 12 goals on 112 shots over that span. Through 23 games played this campaign, he has a 10-11-0 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Boston is tied for ninth in the league with 3.32 goals per contest this season.

Handed loss Tuesday Hofer stopped 29 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Blues struck first, getting a two-goal lead in the second period but the Islanders bounced back with four consecutive goals - three on Hofer - for the win. This is now four losses in a row for Hofer and he has not won a game since Feb. 10. Hofer is an intriguing young goalie with upside, but the uncertainty surrounding his playing time and the struggles of the Blues makes him a risky play in most fantasy leagues.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding goal Tuesday Hofer will defend the road net Tuesday against the Islanders, according to Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.

Impact Hofer will get the second half of the Blues' back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Monday's 2-1 shootout win over Philadelphia. The 23-year-old Hofer has posted a 10-10-0 record this campaign with a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 22 appearances. The Islanders sit 21st in the league with 2.98 goals per contest this season.

Falls to Winnipeg Hofer allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Jets on Tuesday.

Impact Winnipeg jumped out to a fast start Tuesday, tagging Hofer with three goals in the first period. While the 23-year-old netminder would eventually settle in and hold the Jets to one goal over the final two frames, St. Louis ultimately couldn't climb out of the early hole. Hofer falls to 10-10-0 on the season with a .911 save percentage and 2.88 GAA. The Blues will look to bounce back Wednesday on the road in Edmonton.

In goal Tuesday Hofer will get the starting nod on the road against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Hofer will get the opportunity to play in front of his hometown as he takes the first game of the Blues back-to-back. As such, fantasy players can likely expect Jordan Binnington to be between the visitor pipes versus Edmonton on Wednesday. For his part, the 23-year-old Hofer went 3-1-0 in his last five appearances to go with a 2.58 GAA and .918 save percentage.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Needed in relief against Wings Hofer turned aside 18 of 20 shots after replacing Jordan Binnington to begin the second period of Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Detroit grabbed a 4-0 lead in the first period to chase Binnington from the crease, and St. Louis never got back into the game. Hofer has started just one of the Blues' last seven contests, and the 23-year-old doesn't seem to be quite ready to push for the No. 1 job despite a .913 save percentage over seven outings since the beginning of January.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Toronto Hofer allowed three goals on 28 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday.

Impact After holding Toronto to one goal through the first two periods, Hofer surrendered a power-play tally to Auston Matthews 45 seconds into the third and a short-handed marker to William Nylander later in the frame before the Leafs added an empty-netter, sticking Hofer with the loss. It was the first start since Feb. 10 for the 23-year-old netminder, though he'd won his previous three outings, sporting a .929 save percentage in that span. Hofer falls to 10-9-0 with a .912 save percentage and 2.80 GAA while backing up Jordan Binnington this season.

Wins third straight Hofer made 33 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact A Kyle Okposo tally early in the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but Hofer was otherwise sharp as he won his third straight start. It could be telling that the 23-year-old netminder got the Blues' first start after the All-Star break, as he appeared to be working into a timeshare with Jordan Binnington at the end of January. Over his last nine outings dating back to mid-December, Hofer sports a 2.37 GAA and .930 save percentage.
