Blues' Joel Hofer: Backstops comeback win
Hofer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
The Oilers led 2-0 midway through the third period, but Hofer locked in to let the Blues make a comeback. The 25-year-old Hofer has won five of his last six outings, giving up two or fewer goals in all five of his victories in that span. He's up to 17-11-4 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 appearances. Both Hofer and Jordan Binnington had thrived since the Olympic break, though Hofer continues to see a slight edge for playing time. The Blues have a three-game road trip up next, facing the Jets, Flames and Canucks in a trio of favorable matchups, so Hofer's a decent fantasy option over the next week-plus.

Blues' Joel Hofer: In goal versus Oilers
Hofer will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer has gone 4-0-1 with just eight goals allowed on 154 shots (.948 save percentage) over five games since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old netminder continues to play well, but he'll need to be sharp against the Oilers, who figure to be ornery after their 7-2 loss to the Stars on Thursday. Hofer will catch a slight break since Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) isn't in Edmonton's lineup Friday.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Tagged with OT defeat
Hofer stopped 45 of 49 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
The Blues jumped to a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but the Islanders rallied with four unanswered goals to hand Hofer the loss. Still, he has gone undefeated in regulation in his last five outings, going 4-0-1 with a superb 1.59 GAA and .948 save percentage over that stretch. He should remain an excellent fantasy option based on his hot play since the Olympic break.

Hofer remains locked in with four straight wins, allowing just four goals on 105 shots in those contests. The 25-year-old has started four of six games for the Blues since the Olympic break, suggesting he has maintained his status as the team's top netminder over Jordan Binnington. Hofer is up to five shutouts this season and has matched his career high in wins with 16. He's at 16-11-3 with a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 34 appearances.

Hofer has been strong since the Olympic break, going 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .952 save percentage over his last three starts, and he'll draw the start for the fourth time in six games since the layoff. The Ducks are generating 3.27 goals per game this season, which is tied for 12th in the league.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Sharp in win
Hofer allowed two goals on 36 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Hofer gave up the first and last goals of the game, but the Blues buried three tallies in between to give him enough support. The 25-year-old netminder started consecutive contests for the first time since Jan. 13-16, and he's now won three games in a row for the first time all season. Hofer is up to 15-11-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 33 appearances. He may see a slight edge over Jordan Binnington for starts, but both goalies should see action since the Blues are far off the pace for a playoff spot. The Blues' road trip continues Friday in San Jose.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starts in Minny
Hofer will start in goal Sunday against the Wild, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
It has been a 50-50 split in net for the Blues in their last 10 games, alternating between Hofer and Jordan Binnington. The latter started the Blues' last game, so it's Hofer's turn in the rotation Sunday. The 25-year-old Hofer has a 13-11-3 record, 2.87 GAA and .897 save percentage on the season. The Wild boast the NHL's 11th-best offense at 3.22 goals per game, so it will be a tough task for the netminder on the road.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Steady again in win
Hofer stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
Hofer has allowed two goals on 47 shots over two games since play resumed after the Olympic break. The 25-year-old has been good for most of the season, and he's settled into an even split of starts with Jordan Binnington lately. Hofer improved to 14-11-3 with a 2.81 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. If the goalie rotation continues, Binnington is projected to start Wednesday in Seattle while Hofer would line up for Friday in San Jose for his next start.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Strong showing vs. Seattle
Hofer stopped 23 of 24 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Hofer didn't have a lot of work against an anemic Seattle offense that has scored just two goals in two games since the league resumed. It also allowed Hofer to get back to winning ways, as he had allowed six goals on 28 shots in a loss to Nashville before the break in his previous outing. Hofer is alternating with Jordan Binnington, and the latter is likely to get the start against the Devils on Saturday. Hofer has gone 13-11-3 with a 2.87 GAA and an .897 save percentage this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Fades late in Nashville
Hofer made 22 saves in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.
St. Louis took a 5-1 lead early in the second period on a Colton Parayko tally, but Hofer and the Blues' defense crumbled over the second half of the game. It was the 25-year-old netminder's worst performance since Oct. 15, when he gave up seven goals to Chicago, and Hofer has gone 2-2-1 over his last five starts with a shaky 3.52 GAA and .858 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Between pipes Monday

Blues' Joel Hofer: Earns win vs. Florida
Hofer stopped 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Panthers.
Hofer bounced back from two straight losses to record his fourth win of the month. The 25-year-old has had several ups and downs this season, and despite winning four of his seven outings in January (4-2-1), his .894 save percentage during that time isn't particularly eye-popping. Hofer and Jordan Binnington have alternated starts over the past several games, and that trend should continue for the time being.

Hofer allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.
Hofer took his third loss in five outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 135 shots. The 25-year-old netminder has been better than Jordan Binnington this season, but Hofer has struggled to string wins together, leaving this crease in a timeshare. Hofer dropped to 11-10-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Not great in loss
Hofer stopped 13 of 15 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.
Hofer wasn't able to pick up a third straight win, as power-play goals by Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele in the first period ended up deciding the game. The 25-year-old Hofer didn't face much traffic in this one, though he kept it close after the early struggles. He's down to 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 27 appearances. Hofer is well on his way to a career-high workload as he continues to hold down a slight majority of the starts over the last month. The Blues have a back-to-back up next, with a game in Dallas on Friday followed by a home matchup versus the Kings on Saturday, which should allow Hofer and Jordan Binnington to get a start each.
