Hofer stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Blues' 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer started off the game rocky, allowing two goals in the first period, but shut the door on the Red Wings the rest of the way. He was unable to pick up the win, however, getting beat by Lucas Raymond in the shootout. This game snapped a two-game winning streak for the Canadian goaltender. Hofer will likely be in a time-share with Jordan Binnington for the rest of the season.

Hofer was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll defend the home cage versus Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer was called up from the minors after Jordan Binnington was hit with a two-game suspension. In his two NHL appearances this season, the 22-year-old Hofer has secured a pair of wins while giving up just two goals on 67 shots (.970 save percentage). As long as Hofer continues to play at this level, he may find himself cemented in the starting crease for the Blues.

Hofer turned aside all 33 shots he faced in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

He would have gotten a shutout in his fourth career NHL appearance, but Hofer left the ice briefly in the second period to get his skate checked out and Thomas Greiss made one save in his absence. It was still a stellar performance for Hofer, who has won two straight starts since being called up Thursday while stopping 65 of 67 shots. Jordan Binnington's suspension is now up, but the fact that the rebuilding Blues gave both starts to Hofer rather than Greiss in his absence suggests the youngster may not immediately be headed back to AHL Springfield. With Greiss headed for free agency in the offseason, Hofer could get a longer look over the final weeks of the regular season.

Hofer will defend the home goal versus Winnipeg on Sunday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer was outstanding Friday in his season debut, stopping 32 shots in a 5-2 win over Washington. He has spent most of the season with AHL Springfield, going 22-14-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 save percentage. Hofer is currently replacing the suspended Jordan Binnington, who will be eligible to return Tuesday in Detroit. Should Hofer perform well against his hometown Jets team, he could earn more playing time even after Binnington's return. Winnipeg is averaging 3.06 goals per contest.

Hofer saved 32 of 34 shots in a 5-2 victory over Washington on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer was making his season debut, and the Blues provided him with plenty of offensive support to secure the victory. Jordan Binnington was serving the first outing of his two-game suspension, which is why Hofer is up with St. Louis. Once Binnington's eligible to return for the Blues' game against Detroit on March 21, the 22-year-old goaltender will probably head back to AHL Springfield, where he's posted a 2.50 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 40 contests.

Hofer will be in the visiting crease versus Washington on Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer was recalled Thursday when the NHL suspended Jordan Binnington two games for his match penalty against the Wild the previous night. Hofer was 22-14-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 save percentage with AHL Springfield before his recall. He will face the Capitals, who are 18th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.10 goals per contest.

Hofer was recalled from AHL Springfield on Thursday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer was recalled when Jordan Binnington received a two-game suspension for his match penalty versus the Wild on Wednesday. Hofer was 22-14-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 save percentage in AHL action before his recall. He played two games with the Blues last season, going 1-1-0, stopping 44 of 50 shots in a win versus the Sharks and a loss to the Hurricanes. He likely will back up Thomas Greiss for both games.

Hofer signed a two-year, $1.55 million extension with St. Louis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The one-way deal will begin next season. Hofer has registered a 2.39 GAA and .922 save percentage through 22 AHL games this season. The 22-year-old has appeared in two career NHL games, yielding six goals on 50 shots.

Hofer will start Saturday's preseason home game versus the Stars, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer is likely ticketed for the AHL this season, but he'll get at least one start with the big club during the preseason. The 22-year-old made two appearances in the NHL last year and added a 2.96 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 39 games with AHL Springfield.

Hofer was sent down to AHL Springfield on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer made a pair of starts with the big club, but his services are no longer needed with regular backup Ville Husso having cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols. The 21-year-old Hofer will use his stint with the Blues as a learning experience as he continues to work on his game in the AHL.
