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

Subpar performance in loss

GSt. Louis Blues

November 17, 2024

Hofer allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

ANALYSIS
Hofer allowed three goals at even strength and one on the power play. After starting the season with three straight wins, the 24-year-old has lost three consecutive outings. This was the Winnipeg native's first start in 10 days, as Jordan Binnington continues to see the bulk of the workload between the pipes. Hofer has a 3-3-0 record, .893 save percentage and 3.45 GAA.

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.
