Starting in Ottawa Hofer will defend the road net against the Senators on Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Hofer made 18 saves in a 1-0 shutout win over Utah last Saturday. He has a 3-5-2 record with two shutouts, a 3.29 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 13 appearances this season. Ottawa ranks 14th in the league with 3.07 goals per game this campaign.

Good effort in relief outing Hofer stopped 19 of 20 shots in relief of Jordan Binnington in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Hofer entered the game midway through the first period after Binnington was pulled following the Ducks' second goal. Hofer did well to keep things close, but the Blues' offense couldn't give him any support. Hofer was able to avoid the loss, as Binnington was responsible for the decisive goal. For the season, Hofer is 3-5-2 with a 3.29 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 13 appearances. Inconsistency from both goalies has prevented either from breaking away with the starting job, though Binnington has had an edge in starts. The Blues begin a three-game road trip in Boston on Thursday, and a back-to-back over the weekend in Ottawa on Saturday and Montreal on Sunday should allow both goalies to get playing time soon.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Earns second shutout of season Hofer posted an 18-save shutout in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Hofer made a Dylan Holloway tally late in the second period stand as the game-winner. This ended a four-game skid for Hofer, who had allowed 14 goals during that 0-2-2 stretch. The 25-year-old improved to 3-5-2 with two shutouts, a 3.45 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 12 appearances this season. Jordan Binnington won't completely surrender the starting job, but the Blues' crease has been trending closer to a 50-50 split in November. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Ducks on Monday.

Set to face Utah Hofer is set to start at home against Utah on Saturday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Impact Hofer hasn't earned a win since Nov. 6, going 0-2-2 with a 3.46 GAA and an .876 save percentage in four appearances since his last victory. The 25-year-old is 2-5-2 with a 3.82 GAA and an .869 save percentage in 11 outings overall in 2025-26. Utah is in a three-way tie for 13th in goals per game with 3.08.

Struggles continue Monday Hofer stopped 18 shots on 21 attempts on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Despite a clean first period, Hofer faltered down the stretch and allowed three consecutive goals across an 18-minute span in the second and third periods. With the loss, the 25-year-old netminder has a 2-5-2 record with a 3.82 GAA and a .869 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Hofer has lost each of his last four starts and has just one win since his opening-night victory. He can't be trusted in fantasy formats until he finds consistency in the win column and is best left on waivers.

Between pipes against Rangers Hofer will tend the twine on the road versus the Rangers on Monday.

Impact Hofer has been splitting the workload with Jordan Binnington of late, featuring in two of the Blues' last five outings. In those appearances, the 25-year-old Hofer hasn't exactly impressed, posting a 0-1-1 record with a 3.39 GAA. Still, it seems the starting job is up for grabs in St. Louis, and a win Monday could improve Hofer's chances of getting more opportunities in the crease.

Third straight loss Hofer stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Impact Hofer was beaten late in the second period, midway through the third and at the 3:51 mark in overtime, as the Flyers came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in OT. This was Hofer's third straight loss, a stretch in which he's gone 0-1-2 with a 3.55 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Facing Flyers Hofer will be between the visiting pipes in Philadelphia on Thursday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hofer is 2-4-1 with one shutout, a 4.04 GAA and an .867 save percentage across nine games this season. It's by far his worst season at the NHL level, parts of five seasons. The Flyers are averaging 2.61 goals per game, 29th in the NHL.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yields four goals in loss Hofer allowed four goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Hofer gave up two goals in the first period and a tally in each of the last two frames before the Blues got on the board. The 25-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals over his last four outings, going 1-1-1 in that span. For the season, he's at a 2-4-1 record with a 4.04 GAA and an .867 save percentage through nine appearances. Jordan Binnington hasn't been that much better in the starting role, so the Blues' crease could continue to be a battle for playing time until one goalie or the other gets on a hot streak. The Blues are beginning a five-game road trip in Toronto on Tuesday, but there are no back-to-back sets scheduled.

Bowman scores his first NHL goal, sparks Golden Knights to 4-1 win over Blues

Facing Golden Knights Hofer will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hofer will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to Philadelphia. The 25-year-old Hofer is coming off a 26-save effort in last Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle. He has a 2-3-1 record this season while allowing 26 goals on 192 shots in eight appearances. Vegas ranks 14th in the league with 3.19 goals per game this campaign.

Win slips away Saturday Hofer stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact The 25-year-old was the busier of the two netminders on the night, facing 30 shots to Philipp Gribauer's 19, but Hofer still had the Blues in position to win until Chandler Stephenson snuck a shot through traffic to tie it with just two seconds left in regulation. He then had little chance on Shane Wright's OT winner after a defensive breakdown by Brayden Schenn during 3-on-3 play. Hofer was making his second straight start as St. Louis searches for some consistency in the crease, and through four appearances in November he's gone 1-1-1 with a 2.58 GAA and .918 save percentage, numbers which could give him the edge on Jordan Binnington for now.
