Jordan Binnington led the Blues to their first Stanley Cup in the 2018-19 season, but he has struggled to perform at a consistently high level. Last season, the Blues gave an increased workload to Joel Hofer, who eventually outplayed Binnington in the latter half of the season and earned more playing time. Building on that trend, the Blues turned to Hofer in their season opener, and he stopped all 25 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars, adding to his case for the team's starting goalie. The Blues enter Tuesday as -140 road favourites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that has been outscored 15-5 in its first three games (0-3-0).
