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.
Starting against Buffalo
Hofer will defend the road crease against Buffalo on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hofer hasn't been particularly sharp early in the season, going 1-3-0 with a 5.02 GAA and .836 save percentage over six appearances. However, he'll have a relatively favorable matchup against the Sabres, who are averaging 2.85 goals per game this year, which is tied for 19th in the NHL.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starter Thursday
Hofer could get the starting nod against the Sabres on the road Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jordan Binnington taking the first game of the Blues' road back-to-back versus the Capitals on Wednesday, it makes sense that Hofer would patrol the crease Thursday. After securing the victory in his first game of the season against the Flames on Oct. 11, the 25-year-old Hofer is winless, going 0-3-0 with a 6.26 GAA in his last four outings.
