Yields three tallies in win Hofer turned aside 31 of 34 shots on net in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Hofer posted a steady performance in Saturday's win, as he allowed just one goal in each of the three periods. With the victory, he is up to a 22-13-5 record, a 2.59 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 44 appearances this season. Since the Olympic break, Hofer has lost in regulation just two times, posting a 10-2-2 record, a 1.90 GAA and a .936 save percentage across 14 games. With the Blues being eliminated from playoff contention Saturday due to the Kings' win, the 25-year-old netminder should receive at least one more chance to place a bow atop his strong season. Unless Hofer runs into trouble or is injured next season, he'll likely serve as the Blues' starting netminder for the foreseeable future.

Beaten by Colorado Hofer allowed three goals and made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Hofer was coming off back-to-back wins, including a 3-2 victory over Colorado on Sunday, but he couldn't make it to three wins in a row, something he hasn't accomplished since a four-game stretch between Feb. 26 and March 8. Despite the loss to the Avs, which was expected given Colorado's offensive power and need for a bounce-back performance, Hofer continues to play at a high level. He has allowed three or fewer goals in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's gone 5-2-1 with a 1.96 GAA and a .932 save percentage.

For the season, Hofer is up to 21-12-5 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 42 appearances. The Blues host the Avalanche for a rematch Tuesday, and while they've alternated goalies most of the time lately, Hofer's success against a tough foe could get him another start.

Impact Hofer lost his last outing, giving up five goals on 29 shots to the Sharks on Monday.

The 25-year-old backstop has gone eight games without suffering a regulation loss, posting a 6-0-2 record, 1.34 GAA and two shutouts. Looking ahead to next season, Hofer figures to enter the year as the No. 1 netminder in St. Louis.
