2024 Fantasy Outlook

Hofer had a great season in 2023-24, going 15-12-1 in 30 games played (27 starts) with one shutout, a 2.65 GAA and a .914 save percentage. GSAx, the tell-tale advanced stat of the true, independent impact of a goalie, shows Hofer was at 12.36 (goals saved above expected), which was good enough for 25th in the NHL. That puts him ahead of a number of starting backstops in the league. Hoefer's game is growing, so expect him to earn even more starts this year. The Blues' top dog Jordan Binnington is coming off the best season of his career, so the two will push each other. That's good for the Blues and fantasy managers alike. Hofer will be a great play in daily, and valuable in weeklies when he's on a roll. Keeper and dynasty managers know his name well. Read Past Outlooks

Gives up game-winner in OT

GSt. Louis Blues

December 21, 2024

Hofer stopped 25 of 27 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

ANALYSIS
Including an appearance in relief during a 3-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday, Hofer has gone 1-0-1 with a 1.61 GAA and a .935 save percentage in his last three outings. He's been a reliable option as the backup for Jordan Binnington while seeing playing time every two or three contests.

2023 Fantasy Outlook

The Blues' defense didn't play well in 2022-23, but Hofer was alright with a .905 save percentage over six games in the NHL last season. With Thomas Greiss retired, it's Hofer's turn to fill the backup role behind Jordan Binnington. However, that opportunity could easily become a chance to start if Binnington's numbers continue to slide. Hofer went 27-15-5 with a 2.50 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 47 games with AHL Springfield last season, so it's pretty clear that he's ready for a larger NHL role going forward, giving him draft-day fantasy appeal in deeper formats. If he's able to steal the starting job away from Binnington, Hofer would represent a significant value pick in this year's drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

STL

Likely starting Monday

GSt. Louis Blues

November 25, 2024

Hofer was in the starter's crease during Monday's morning skate, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, indicating he'll likely draw the start on the road against the Rangers.

ANALYSIS
Hofer has had limited time in the crease this season behind Jordan Binnington, as the 24-year-old Hofer has appeared in just six of the Blues' first 22 games of the year. Hofer has taken losses in each of his last three outings, posting a 4.82 GAA and .840 save percentage during that time. He'll attempt to right the ship on the road Monday.
