Hofer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Hofer will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Hofer stopped 45 of 49 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
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 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.

EDGE Analysis
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.

Hofer allowed two goals on 36 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
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.
