Hofer stopped all five shots he faced in the third period of Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer will look to earn more work in 2024-25, but he'll begin the season as Jordan Binnington's backup. Hofer posted a record of 15-12-1 with a .913 save percentage and a 2.65 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances with the Blues in 2023-24.

Hofer stopped 19 of 20 Kraken shots in Sunday's 4-1 win.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hofer will guard the home net Sunday against the Kraken, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer is coming off an 18-save effort in a 5-2 win over Chicago in his last start. Overall, he's 14-12-1 with a .912 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA this campaign. The 23-year-old Hofer will face a Seattle team averaging 2.63 goals per game in what's expected to be his final start of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues held a 4-0 lead before the seven-minute mark of the first period, giving Hofer a fairly easy night.

EDGE Analysis

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. Chicago ranks 32nd offensively with 2.18 goals per game, so this should be a very favorable matchup for Hofer.

Hofer allowed three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Hofer found himself down 2-0 in the third frame but the Blues battled back to put the game into overtime. Unfortunately for Hofer, the Sharks scored on their only 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 are falling farther behind in the playoff race. With only five games 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.
