Hofer turned aside 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Predators, with Nashville's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 26-year-old goalie allowed two goals or fewer for the fifth time in his last seven starts, but a lack of offensive support stuck Hofer with his third regulation loss during that stretch. On the season, he's posted a middling 6-5-1 record despite a sharp 2.36 GAA and .919 save percentage.
