Line Change
Dube will be a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Ottawa.
Dube has been ineffective while playing in all but one game for the Flames so far this season, scoring only seven points (3G / 4A) in 39 contests. His 0.18 point-per-game pace is the lowest of his six-year career and a significant decline over the 0.55 point-per-game pace he had last season.
Goalie Start
Hofer will start Tuesday vs. Florida.
Hofer will make his first start of 2024 but has become more of a regular fixture between the pipes for the Blues over the last two weeks due largely to a strong stretch of play. Hofer has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last four appearances (2-1-0), posting a tremendous .949 SV% in the process. That said, the Blues will need to be heroic on Tuesday if they expect to get a victory against a Florida Panthers club that is riding a season-best seven-game winning streak and has outscored their opposition 22-7 over their last four games.
