Joel Hofer - NHL News & Rumors

Fades late in Nashville Hofer made 22 saves in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.

Impact St. Louis took a 5-1 lead early in the second period on a Colton Parayko tally, but Hofer and the Blues' defense crumbled over the second half of the game. It was the 25-year-old netminder's worst performance since Oct. 15, when he gave up seven goals to Chicago, and Hofer has gone 2-2-1 over his last five starts with a shaky 3.52 GAA and .858 save percentage.

Between pipes Monday Hofer will defend the road net against Nashville on Monday.

Impact Hofer is coming off a 16-save effort in Thursday's 5-4 win over Florida. He has a 12-10-3 record this campaign with a 2.82 GAA, an .899 save percentage and four shutouts through 29 appearances. Nashville ranks 25th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2025-26, but Hofer has gone 1-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 64 shots in three outings against the Predators this season.

Earns win vs. Florida Hofer stopped 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Panthers.

Impact Hofer bounced back from two straight losses to record his fourth win of the month. The 25-year-old has had several ups and downs this season, and despite winning four of his seven outings in January (4-2-1), his .894 save percentage isn't particularly eye-popping. Hofer and Jordan Binnington have alternated starts over the past several games, and that trend should continue for the time being.

Tending twine Thursday Hofer will defend the home crease against the Panthers on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hofer and Jordan Binnington have alternated starts over the past several games, and that trend will continue Thursday. Across his last four outings, Hofer has gone 2-1-1 with a 1.94 GAA and .929 save percentage. He made a road start against Florida on Dec. 20, turning aside 27 of 29 shots (.931 save percentage) in a 6-2 win.

Rough showing versus Kings Hofer allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Impact Hofer took his third loss in five outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 135 shots. The 25-year-old netminder has been better than Jordan Binnington this season, but Hofer has struggled to string wins together, leaving this crease in a timeshare. Hofer dropped to 11-10-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Expected to start Saturday Hofer is set to start at home against Los Angeles on Saturday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Impact Hofer has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his past three starts. He's 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 27 outings in 2025-26. The Kings are 6-8-6 dating back to Dec. 10 and have managed just 2.35 goals per game across that 20-game stretch.

Not great in loss Hofer stopped 13 of 15 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Hofer wasn't able to pick up a third straight win, as power-play goals by Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele in the first period ended up deciding the game. The 25-year-old Hofer didn't face much traffic in this one, though he kept it close after the early struggles. He's down to 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 27 appearances. Hofer is well on his way to a career-high workload as he continues to hold down a slight majority of the starts over the last month. The Blues have a back-to-back up next, with a game in Dallas on Friday followed by a home matchup versus the Kings on Saturday, which should allow Hofer and Jordan Binnington to get a start each.

Snaps Lightning's winning streak Hofer stopped 34 of 36 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Impact Hofer had a tall task, but he was up to the challenge even after surrendering a two-goal lead in the second period. The 25-year-old netminder gave up a pair of power-play goals in a span of 62 seconds, but he was perfect the rest of the way and through the shootout to snap the Lightning's 11-game winning streak. Hofer is up to 11-9-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. He's won five of his last seven outings and is starting to take on a majority of the playing time over Jordan Binnington. The Blues open a three-game road trip when they visit the Oilers on Sunday.

In goal Friday Hofer will get the starting nod at home against the Lightning on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hofer is coming off a 33-save shutout performance versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday and will now be making his third start in the Blues' last four contests. At this point, it seems the 25-year-old backstop has supplanted Jordan Binnington as the No. 1 option in St. Louis and will likely see the bulk of the workload moving forward.
