2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hofer has settled in nicely as the backup to Jordan Binnington over the last two years, and he's established himself as one of the steadier options in that role. Hofer went 16-8-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 31 games in 2024-25, with only the save percentage being noticeably down from the previous year. The 25-year-old netminder gets enough playing time to be a worthy fantasy pick in deeper formats as well as a streaming option when he starts in standard leagues. Hofer didn't play more than three games in a row at any point in 2024-25, but that's likely due to Binnington's good health rather than Hofer's performance. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $6.8 million contract with the Blues in June of 2025.
Poor performance in second start
Hofer stopped 15 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
Hofer started, but he gave up four goals in the first 24:32 of the game. Jordan Binnington came into the game in the second period, but Hofer returned to the crease in the third and yielded three more tallies. Through two starts, Hofer has had mixed results, allowing a total of nine goals on 51 shots while going 1-1-0. The 25-year-old will stay in the backup role if he can't provide more consistency, though he would be a long shot to challenge Binnington's playing time anyway. It'll likely be Binnington who gets the tough home start versus the Stars on Saturday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
