Joel Hofer solid in relief during loss to Canucks
by Bruno Mulé | Blues Correspondent | Tue, Jan 28th 2:56pm EST
Joel Hofer stopped 10 of 11 shots after taking over for Jordan Binnington midway through the second period in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.
Fantasy Impact:
While the Blues struggled to compete, Hofer delivered a respectable performance in relief. In January, the young netminder has outperformed Binnington statistically, posting a 2-2-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and .908 save percentage across five appearances. However, Hofer remains the backup for now, limiting his fantasy value to spot-start situations. Managers in deep leagues may want to monitor his role, as consistent outings like this could lead to more opportunities down the stretch.
