Blues' Joel Hofer: Looks good in first start of season
Hofer made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.
It was his first start of the season. Matt Coronato had Hofer's number, putting up both Calgary snipes. The first one redirected off a Flames defender; the second beat him high glove on a break. Hofer's fantasy value comes in spot starts, as the emerging netminder continues to grow his skills behind Jordan Binnington. He does have the ability to step into the starter's role in the event of a Binner injury, so he's a good stash.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Expected to face Calgary
Hofer is slated to guard the road goal against Calgary on Saturday.
Hofer is looking for his first start of the campaign after Jordan Binnington turned aside 18 of 21 shots en route to a 5-0 loss to Minnesota in the Blues' opener Thursday. Hofer had an 18-8-3 record, 2.64 GAA and .904 save percentage in 31 regular-season appearances for the Blues last year. The 25-year-old Hofer is likely to get a similar workload in 2025-26 as Binnington's understudy.

Hofer will guard the road goal in Saturday's preseason finale against the Blackhawks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer may play the entire game, or Colten Ellis could enter the matchup in the third period. While occupying the backup role behind Jordan Binnington in the 2024-25 regular season, the 25-year-old Hofer posted a 16-8-3 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 31 appearances.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Lands two-year contract
Hofer signed a two-year, $6.8 million contract with St. Louis on Saturday.
Hofer posted a 16-8-3 record with one shutout, a 2.64 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 31 regular-season outings with the Blues in 2024-25. He should continue to see his fair share of starts behind Jordan Binnington in the 2025-26 campaign, making Hofer a worthwhile depth or streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Saddled with loss Monday
Hofer turned aside 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but the Jets outshot the Blues 10-4 in the final frame, and Hofer couldn't keep Alex Iafallo from banging home a rebound at the 7:05 mark after the Blues had blown multiple chances to clear the zone. It was Hofer's first regulation loss since Feb. 6, and in between the 24-year-old netminder had gone 6-0-2 with a 2.20 GAA and a .902 save percentage.

Hofer was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Winnipeg.
Hofer has had somewhat limited playing time in recent weeks, but he's been effective when called upon lately. He's in the midst of a five-game winning streak in which he's posted a 1.79 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Earns win despite conceding four
Hofer stopped 24 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Hofer returned to protecting the Blues' crease after not doing so in the previous two contests, but he managed to keep his winning run alive. He's now come out on top in each of his last five starts, and he has also allowed two or fewer goals four times over that stretch. That translates to an outstanding 1.79 GAA and an excellent .921 save percentage across his five-game winning run.

Across his last four starts, he's gone 4-0-0 with a 1.25 GAA and .942 save percentage. The Penguins are generating 2.89 goals per game this season, which ranks 19th in the league.

Hofer stopped 16 of 18 shots in a 3-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Hofer is riding a four-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.25 GAA and .942 save percentage.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Sharp in Saturday's win
Hofer made 26 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
Ilya Mikheyev's shorthanded tally inside the final minute of the second period spoiled Hofer's shutout bid, but the St. Louis netminder stood tall and won his third straight start.

Over his last four appearances, Hofer has gone 2-0-1 with a 1.26 GAA and a .939 save percentage. He's not expected to takeover the starting role from Jordan Binnington, but he's proving to be a reliable option between the pipes every time the Blues have needed him.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Nashville
Hofer will tend the road twine Tuesday in Nashville, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Hofer was solid in Saturday's 5-1 win over Minnesota, turning aside 17 of 18 shots on goal. The Manitoba native has a 12-7-3 record, 2.78 GAA and .901 save percentage through 26 outings in 2024-25. He has a favorable assignment against a Nashville squad that has generated 2.58 goals per game this season, the second-worst mark in the NHL.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Light work in win
Hofer stopped 17 of 18 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.
Hofer took care of business in a game where the Wild were limited to just a Jake Middleton goal off a turnover in the second period. The 24-year-old Hofer picked up his first win since Feb. 27 versus the Capitals, though two of his three outings in March have been less than full games -- he was pulled from a start and made a brief relief appearance. The young netminder is now at 12-7-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 26 appearances. Look for Jordan Binnington to get the start Sunday versus the Ducks.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Starting in Minnesota
Hofer will get the road start Saturday against the Wild, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Hofer will get the start Saturday after making a late relief appearance in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old Hofer has gone 11-7-3 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA while backing up Jordan Binnington this season.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Makes relief appearance
Hofer stopped both shots he faced in relief of Jordan Binnington in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Binnington was pulled after giving up a goal to Bryan Rust in the third period, and Hofer was barely tested after entering the contest. The Penguins' last tally was an empty-netter. Hofer has allowed seven goals on 52 shots over four appearances (three starts) since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, as the Blues have tried to ride the momentum of Binnington backstopping Canada to the tournament win. Hofer's likely to be limited to backup duties up until the point the Blues are eliminated from playoff contention, which could go down to the wire. However, a back-to-back this weekend -- at Minnesota on Saturday, at home versus the Ducks on Sunday -- should allow each netminder to get a start.
