Joel Hofer takes loss despite solid outing
by Bruno Mulé | Blues Correspondent | Fri, Jan 24th 1:19pm EST
Joel Hofer stopped 27 of 30 shots in the Blues' 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights on Thursday, with the fourth goal coming on an empty net.
Fantasy Impact:
Hofer’s first loss since Jan. 4 came after conceding an early goal just 19 seconds into the game following a defensive miscue. The 23-year-old has been a dependable backup to Jordan Binnington this season, posting a 10-5-1 record, a 2.77 GAA, and a .906 save percentage through 17 appearances. With his numbers slightly edging out Binnington's, it’ll be worth monitoring how head coach Jim Montgomery distributes starts between the two goaltenders moving forward. Hofer remains a viable streaming option in deeper leagues when given the nod.
