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
Hofer will defend the road net against Nashville on Monday.
Hofer is coming off a 16-save effort in Thursday's 5-4 win over Florida. He has a 12-10-3 record this campaign with a 2.82 GAA, an .899 save percentage and four shutouts through 29 appearances. Nashville ranks 25th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2025-26, but Hofer has gone 1-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 64 shots in three outings against the Predators this season.

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.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine Thursday
Hofer will defend the home crease against the Panthers on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer and Jordan Binnington have alternated starts over the past several games, and that trend will continue Thursday. Across his last four outings, Hofer has gone 2-1-1 with a 1.94 GAA and .929 save percentage. He made a road start against Florida on Dec. 20, turning aside 27 of 29 shots (.931 save percentage) in a 6-2 win.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Rough showing versus Kings
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: Expected to start Saturday
Hofer is set to start at home against Los Angeles on Saturday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Hofer has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his past three starts. He's 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 27 outings in 2025-26. The Kings are 6-8-6 dating back to Dec. 10 and have managed just 2.35 goals per game across that 20-game stretch.

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.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Winnipeg
Hofer will defend the road net against the Jets on Tuesday, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.
Hofer has won his last two outings while stopping 67 of the 69 shots he has faced. He has gone 11-9-2 this campaign with a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 26 appearances. Hofer had a 24-save performance in a 1-0 shutout win over the Jets on Dec. 17. Winnipeg is tied for 20th in the league with 2.98 goals per game this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Snaps Lightning's winning streak
Hofer stopped 34 of 36 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.
Hofer had a tall task, but he was up to the challenge even after surrendering a two-goal lead in the second period. The 25-year-old netminder gave up a pair of power-play goals in a span of 62 seconds, but he was perfect the rest of the way and through the shootout to snap the Lightning's 11-game winning streak. Hofer is up to 11-9-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. He's won five of his last seven outings and is starting to take on a majority of the playing time over Jordan Binnington. The Blues open a three-game road trip when they visit the Oilers on Sunday.

Blues' Joel Hofer: In goal Friday
Hofer will get the starting nod at home against the Lightning on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer is coming off a 33-save shutout performance versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday and will now be making his third start in the Blues' last four contests. At this point, it seems the 25-year-old backstop has supplanted Jordan Binnington as the No. 1 option in St. Louis and will likely see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Posts shutout against Hurricanes
Hofer turned aside all 33 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Carolina.
It was the fourth shutout of the season for Hofer, tying him with Ilya Sorokin and Jesper Wallstedt for the league lead. Hofer has two of those shutouts in his last seven starts. He has been solidifying his hold on the top spot in the St. Louis crease, going 5-2-0 over that seven-outing stretch with a 2.02 GAA and a .930 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Drawing home start Tuesday
Hofer will tend the home twine against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Hofer has surrendered at least three goals in three straight outings, a span in which he is 1-2-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .877 save percentage. The 25-year-old will face a Carolina squad that is on the second half of a back-to-back -- the Hurricanes lost in overtime in Detroit on Monday by a 4-3 score. Carolina is 12-6-3 away from home in 2025-26 and has generated 3.35 goals per game, which ranks seventh in the NHL.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Struggles against Mammoth
Hofer allowed four goals on 23 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Hofer hadn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last five outings. He's played well enough to earn a timeshare in the crease with Jordan Binnington, who has remained volatile this season. Hofer is now 9-9-2 with a 2.94 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 24 appearances. The Blues will likely turn to Binnington on Saturday in Vegas, but this crease is still very much up for grabs until one goalie can string some positive starts together.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Between pipes against Utah
Hofer will start Friday's road game against Utah, Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site reports.
Hofer has sat for three of the Blues' last four games, but he'll draw the start Friday after Jordan Binnington struggled mightily during Wednesday's loss in Chicago. Hofer has gone 4-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .930 save percentage over his last five starts. He's made two starts against Utah this year, going 1-0-0 with a 2.65 GAA and .875 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Hangs on for tight win
Hofer halted 21 of 24 shots on net in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Despite allowing two goals across the final two periods, Hofer played well when it mattered, as he blanked the Golden Knights across the final 11 minutes of the game while Brayden Schenn grabbed the game-winner for the Blues. With the close win, Hofer is up to a 9-8-2 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. With five wins over his last seven appearances, the 25-year-old goalie has compiled a strong case to maintain his larger share of the workload in net over Jordan Binnington. Hofer has been the hot hand of the two, giving him solid streaming value. While Binnington will likely get the starting nod for Saturday's contest in Vegas, Hofer could see action in Wednesday's tilt in Chicago.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Gets starting nod Friday
Hofer will guard the cage at home against the Golden Knights on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer took the bulk of the workload for the Blues in December, featuring in 10 of 15 games while posting a 5-3-0 record and 2.20 GAA. The 25-year-old netminder will get the first start of 2026, though Jordan Binnington figures to get the nod for the second half of the back-to-back versus Montreal on Saturday. At this point, Hofer should probably be considered the No. 1 option in St. Louis, though his hold on that spot is tenuous at best.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Solid effort in loss
Hofer turned aside 30 of 33 shots on goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Hofer tended a decent game through the first two periods, as he helped the Blues tie the Sabres through 40 minutes before Buffalo's Zach Benson netted the go-ahead goal less than two minutes into the third. Following Monday's loss, Hofer now has an 8-8-2 record with a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. Despite having his three-game winning streak snapped in Monday's loss, the 25-year-old goalie has managed to turn around the outlook on his season over the past month. Since Nov. 29, he has thrived with a 6-3-0 record, a 1.98 GAA and a .931 save percentage across 11 appearances. As he continues to see the bulk of the workload in net for St. Louis during Jordan Binnington's struggles with consistency, Hofer is back on the fantasy radar and can be safely streamed in most league formats for the time being.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Posts strong outing Saturday
Hofer stopped 30 of 32 shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
Hofer's strong run of play continued Saturday, as he allowed just one goal apiece in the first and third periods while playing from ahead the majority of the night. He is up to an 8-7-2 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 21 games this season. The 25-year-old goalie pushed his season save percentage back up to the .900 mark for the first time since the first game of the season. Over his last three outings, he has been elite with a 3-0-0 record, 1.33 GAA, .953 save percentage and one shutout. While he has alternated starts with Jordan Binnington for the majority of the season, Hofer's consistency in recent weeks has made a strong case to take over the starting role. The Blues likely won't operate with a true No. 1 option between the pipes, but if Hofer can rise to the 1A role, he should hold solid value in most two-goalie formats.

Blues' Joel Hofer: To start Monday
Hofer will start Monday's game against the Sabres, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Sunday.
Hofer has seen the vast majority of starts in the month of December, and that will include the first two out of the holiday break. The 25-year-old is 5-2-0 with a 2.10 GAA and a .929 save percentage in December, and he is on a personal three-game winning streak. He'll take on a red-hot Sabres team that's riding a league-best eight-game winning streak.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine Saturday
Hofer will guard the home net versus Nashville on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer will make his fifth start in the Blues' last seven games. He is 7-7-2 with three shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and an .898 save percentage, challenging Jordan Binnington for the top job in St. Louis. The Predators have won seven of 10 games, including three straight, going into Saturday's action.
