Blues' Joel Hofer: Remains undefeated with another win
Hofer stopped 37 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Hofer had a rough showing in his season debut against the Sharks on Oct. 10, allowing four goals on 29 shots, but he's been excellent of late with back-to-back wins over the Islanders and Hurricanes while stopping a combined 71 of 74 shots over that span. 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. Over three games, Hofer has gone 3-0-0 with a 2.32 GAA and a .932 save percentage.

Hofer played well last season, going 15-12-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 30 regular-season games. His play could give him a shot at sharing the No. 1 job with Jordan Binnington this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Secures shutout in overtime
Hofer posted a 34-save shutout in Thursday's 1-0 overtime win over the Islanders.
Hofer has won both of his starts this season, and he had to be perfect to do it this time. The 24-year-old helped his own cause, providing the secondary assist on Jake Neighbours' game-winning tally at 2:04 of overtime. Hofer has allowed four goals on 63 shots so far. If he continues to play well, he could work his way into a near-even split of playing time with Jordan Binnington, who has lost two of his three outings this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Slated to start Thursday
Hofer was the first goalie off Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal for the Blues' home game against the Islanders.
Hofer has started in just one of the Blues' first four games of the season, and he turned aside 25 of 29 shots in a road win over the Sharks on Oct. 10. He'll have the chance to start at home Thursday against the Islanders, who have scored 10 goals over their first three games this season while posting a 1-1-1 record.

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 was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, and will defend the visiting crease in San Jose on Thursday.
Hofer was on the bench Opening Night as Jordan Binnington picked up the start in Seattle. Hofer appeared in 30 regular-season games in 2023-24, registering 15 wins, a 2.65 GAA and a .913 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Steady in relief appearance
Hofer stopped all five shots he faced in the third period of Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Blackhawks.
Vadim Zherenko started and allowed six goals over the first two periods. Hofer was able to do his job without much effort in the third. 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.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Sharp in loss
Hofer allowed two goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Hofer played well, but the same couldn't be said for many of his teammates. The goals against him came on a Columbus power play and a set play off a faceoff. Hofer is pretty well locked in as the Blues' No. 2 option to begin 2024-25, as he'll reprise his role from last year as backup to Jordan Binnington.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Leads team to late-season win
Hofer stopped 19 of 20 Kraken shots in Sunday's 4-1 win.
Hofer continued his impressive campaign with Sunday's win. Through 30 games, Hofer has gone 15-12-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .914 save percentage. With St. Louis eliminated from playoff contention, the 23-year-old netminder will likely get a chance to start Wednesday's season finale in Dallas. While he didn't take the lion's share of starts, Hofer showed a lot of promise and could be an interesting depth option for fantasy managers next season.

The 23-year-old netminder has only one regulation loss in his last six outings, going 4-1-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .923 save percentage since March 11 as St. Louis tries to catch Vegas for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Hofer has a 13-12-1 record, 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. He stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose in his last start Saturday.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Falls in overtime
Hofer allowed three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose.
Hofer found himself down 2-0 in the third frame, but the Blues battled back to force the extra period. Unfortunately for Hofer, the Sharks scored on their only overtime shot on net to put the game away, and he ended the night with an .880 save percentage. The 23-year-old backup goalie has now lost back-to-back games, and the Blues' chances of making the playoffs are all but extinguished. With just five contests left on the season, look for the Blues to start No. 1 netminder Jordan Binnington for the remainder of the games unless they are officially eliminated from the postseason.

Jordan Binnington will likely be between the pipes in Monday's home matchup versus the Oilers.
