Blues' Joel Hofer: 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.
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.

It's unclear if Hofer will remain in St. Louis' crease for Tuesday's home matchup against the Jets, but he's trending in the right direction.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Backstops comeback win
Hofer allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Hofer gave up all four goals over the first two periods. He dialed in for the third, allowing the Blues to build a comeback that Brayden Schenn completed 45 seconds into overtime. While this wasn't a great first impression for Hofer in 2024-25, he's still one of the better true backup goalies in the league. The 24-year-old had a 2.65 GAA and .913 save percentage in 30 appearances last season. He'll likely be watching from the bench Friday when the Blues wrap up their season-opening three-game road trip in Vegas, which is projected to be a start for Jordan Binnington.

Hofer stopped all five shots he faced in the third period of Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Blackhawks.

After allowing just four goals on 80 shots over four preseason appearances, Hofer looks ready for the regular season. The 24-year-old will back up Jordan Binnington to begin 2024-25, but Hofer could earn a larger role if Binnington struggles at any point in the campaign.
