Hofer allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Jets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Winnipeg jumped out to a fast start Tuesday, tagging Hofer with three goals in the first period. While the 23-year-old netminder would eventually settle in and hold the Jets to one goal over the final two frames, St. Louis ultimately couldn't climb out of the early hole. Hofer falls to 10-10-0 on the season with a .911 save percentage and a 2.88 GAA. The Blues will look to bounce back Wednesday on the road in Edmonton.

Hofer will get the starting nod on the road against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hofer will get the opportunity to play in front of his hometown as he takes the first game of the Blues back-to-back. As such, fantasy players can likely expect Jordan Binnington to be between the visitor pipes versus Edmonton on Wednesday. For his part, the 23-year-old Hofer went 3-1-0 in his last five appearances to go with a 2.58 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

Hofer turned aside 18 of 20 shots after replacing Jordan Binnington to begin the second period in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit grabbed a 4-0 lead in the first period to chase Binnington from the crease, and St. Louis never got back into the game. Hofer has started just one of the Blues' last seven contests, and the 23-year-old doesn't quite seem ready to push for the No. 1 job despite a .913 save percentage over seven outings since the beginning of January.

Hofer allowed three goals on 28 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After holding Toronto to one goal through the first two periods, Hofer surrendered a power-play tally to Auston Matthews 45 seconds into the third and a short-handed marker to William Nylander later in the frame before the Leafs added an empty-netter, sticking Hofer with the loss. It was the first start since Feb. 10 for the 23-year-old netminder, though he'd won his previous three outings, sporting a .929 save percentage in that span. Hofer falls to 10-9-0 with a .912 save percentage and 2.80 GAA while backing up Jordan Binnington this season.

Hofer made 33 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
A Kyle Okposo tally early in the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but Hofer was otherwise sharp as he won his third straight start. It could be telling that the 23-year-old netminder got the Blues' first start after the All-Star break after working into a timeshare with Jordan Binnington at the end of January. Over his last nine outings dating back to mid-December, Hofer sports a 2.37 GAA and .930 save percentage.

On the season, Hofer sports a 9-8-0 record with a 2.89 GAA and .909 save percentage.
