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.

Hofer had a 24-save performance in a 1-0 shutout win over the Jets on Dec. 17. Winnipeg is tied for 20th in the league with 2.98 goals per game this season.

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.

Blanks 'Canes for fourth shutout Hofer turned aside all 33 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Carolina.

Impact It was the fourth shutout of the season for Hofer, tying him with Ilya Sorokin and Jesper Wallstedt for the league lead, and the second in his last seven starts. Hofer's solidifying his hold on the top spot in the St. Louis crease, going 5-2-0 over that seven-outing stretch with a 2.02 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Drawing home start Tuesday Hofer will tend the home twine against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Impact Hofer has surrendered at least three goals in three straight outings, a span in which he is 1-2-0 with a 3.41 GAA and an .877 save percentage. The 25-year-old will face a Carolina squad that is on the second half of a back-to-back -- the Hurricanes lost in overtime in Detroit on Monday by a 4-3 score. Carolina is 12-6-3 away from home in 2025-26 and has generated 3.35 goals per game, which ranks seventh in the NHL.

Struggles against Mammoth Hofer allowed four goals on 23 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Hofer hadn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last five outings. He's played well enough to earn a timeshare in the crease with Jordan Binnington, who has remained volatile this season. Hofer is now 9-9-2 with a 2.94 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 24 appearances. The Blues will likely turn to Binnington on Saturday in Vegas, but this crease is still very much up for grabs until one goalie can string some positive starts together.

Between pipes against Utah Hofer will start Friday's road game against Utah, Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site reports.

Impact Hofer has sat for three of the Blues' last four games, but he'll draw the start Friday after Jordan Binnington struggled mightily during Wednesday's loss in Chicago. Hofer has gone 4-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .930 save percentage over his last five starts. He's made two starts against Utah this year, going 1-0-0 with a 2.65 GAA and .875 save percentage.

Hangs on for tight win Hofer halted 21 of 24 shots on net in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Despite allowing two goals across the final two periods, Hofer played well when it mattered, as he blanked the Golden Knights across the final 11 minutes of the game while Brayden Schenn grabbed the game-winner for the Blues. With the close win, Hofer is up to a 9-8-2 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. With five wins over his last seven appearances, the 25-year-old goalie has compiled a strong case to maintain his larger share of the workload in net over Jordan Binnington. Hofer has been the hot hand of the two, giving him solid streaming value in various two-goalie fantasy formats. While Binnington will likely get the starting nod in Saturday's contest, Hofer could see action next in Wednesday's tilt in Chicago.
