St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer will be between the pipes for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. While Jordan Binnington has continued to get the bulk of the starts for the Blues, Hofer has been the superior netminder. He has yielded just 11 goals over his last five starts while posting a .926 save percentage in that time. For the season, the 23-year-old has posted a 2.74 goals-against average alongside a .913 save percentage across 28 games (25 starts), going 13-12-1 in that time. The Blues' playoff hopes are on life support as they sit five points back of the Vegas Golden Knights for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference but Vegas sports a game in hand.
St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer is the confirmed starter for Monday's game against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers. It's just the second starter for Hofer in the New Year after he surrendered four goals in a 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Jan. 9. For the season, the 23-year-old has recorded a 2.87 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage across 15 outings (13 starts), going 7-7-0 in the process. Despite the light workload, Hofer is indeed outperforming No. 1 goaltender Jordan Binnington who sports a 3.04 GAA and a .906 Sv% in his 30 appearances (28 starts). Nonetheless, the youngster will continue to act as the backup barring a complete collapse from Binnington.
St. Louis goalie Joel Hofer will likely be the starter against Dallas Wednesday. Hoffer endured the worst start of his career in his last appearance, allowing five goals on just 17 shots. In addition, he was pulled after playing only late in the first period. Despite this setback, the 22-year-old has been reliable for St. Louis this season, with a 3-0-1 record, a 2.79 goals-against-average, and a .915 save percentage. He is set to face Dallas, who is currently on a four-game winning streak and ranks seventh in the NHL in goals per game with an average of 3.44.
Despite stopping 28 of 30 shots, St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer was handed his first loss of the season in a 3-2 shootout defeat to the Detroit Red Wings in his last start. However, the 22-year-old netminder has been exceptional since being called up last week, boasting a 2-0-1 record, a 1.32 goals-against-average, and a .959 save percentage. Hofer will have a chance for redemption as he faces the Detroit Red Wings again on Thursday.
