Joel Hofer News: In goal Friday

Published on January 16, 2026

Hofer will get the starting nod at home against the Lightning on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

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.
