Joel Hofer News

The Blues have relied more heavily on Hofer lately, and he will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets despite a poor performance in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%). The 25-year-old Hofer has a 3.16 GAA and .890 SV% in 18 games (5-7-2), but has been much better lately, with a 1.95 GAA and .924 SV% in his last seven appearances (3-2-0). The Blues enter Wednesday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Jets team they face for the first time since being eliminated by them in the first round of the playoffs.

Hofer was solid in his most recent game, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, and will return to the crease on Monday against the Nashville Predators. The Blues have struggled between the pipes this season, but Hofer has been slightly more reliable than Jordan Binnington and has seen an uptick in deployment over the past few weeks as a result. The 25-year-old Hofer has a 3.10 GAA and .893 SV% in 17 appearances this season (5-6-2). The Blues enter the action on Monday as slight -106 home favorites against a Predators team that handily defeated them 7-2 less than a week ago.

The Blues enter Monday's contest as +126 road underdogs against a Rangers team that has an abysmal 1-7-1 record on home ice this season.

The 25-year-old Hofer is sporting an ugly 4.04 GAA and .867 SV% in nine appearances this season (2-4-1). The Blues enter Thursday's contest as +110 road underdogs against a Flyers team that defeated them 6-5 in a shootout less than a week ago.

The Blues have been abysmal defensively this season, allowing a league-worst 59 goals through 14 games (4.21 GA / GP).

The Blues have been leaky defensively lately, allowing 13 goals in their last two games (0-2-0), and hope Hofer can shut things down when he returns to the crease on Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 25-year-old Hofer is a talented netminder with a 2.82 GAA and .904 SV% in 77 career games (36-23-5), but has been abysmal to start the 2025-26 season, posting a dreadful 6.22 GAA and .789 SV% in three outings (1-1-0). Still, the Blues enter Monday's contest as -118 road favorites against the Penguins.

The Blues have outscored their opposition 9-4 in Jordan Binnington's last three starts (2-0-1), but they will turn to a struggling Hofer on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth, hoping he can elevate his game. The 25-year-old Hofer has an ugly 5.01 GAA and .824 SV% in two games (1-1-0), stats that vastly contrast his career average of 2.77 GAA and .905 SV% in 71 games (36-23-5). The Blues enter Thursday's contest as slight -115 home favorites against a Mammoth team riding a four-game winning streak.
