There's no doubt when you look at the number of chances we had. I think it was 22-12 in our favor." Hofer has won three straight games with just five goals allowed (.952), and he's bound to get more action short-term with continued strong play.

Handed loss Tuesday Hofer stopped 29 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Blues struck first, getting a two-goal lead in the second period but the Islanders bounced back with four consecutive goals - three on Hofer - for the win. This is now four losses in a row for Hofer and he has not won a game since Feb. 10. Hofer is an intriguing young goalie with upside, but the uncertainty surrounding his playing time and the struggles of the Blues makes him a risky play in most fantasy leagues.

Hofer falls to 10-10-0 on the season with a .911 save percentage and 2.88 GAA. The Blues will look to bounce back Wednesday on the road in Edmonton.

In goal Tuesday Hofer will get the starting nod on the road against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Hofer will get the opportunity to play in front of his hometown as he takes the first game of the Blues back-to-back. As such, fantasy players can likely expect Jordan Binnington to be between the visitor pipes versus Edmonton on Wednesday. For his part, the 23-year-old Hofer went 3-1-0 in his last five appearances to go with a 2.58 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Needed in relief against Wings Hofer turned aside 18 of 20 shots after replacing Jordan Binnington to begin the second period of Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Detroit grabbed a 4-0 lead in the first period to chase Binnington from the crease, and St. Louis never got back into the game. Hofer has started just one of the Blues' last seven contests, and the 23-year-old doesn't seem to be quite ready to push for the No. 1 job despite a .913 save percentage over seven outings since the beginning of January.
