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.
Pulled inside 10 minutes
Hofer made three saves on six shots before being pulled from Thursday's 7-4 loss against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Hofer struggled early in the contest, allowing a goal to Ian Cole just past the three-minute mark before surrendering two goals to Logan Cooley minutes later. Luckily for Hofer, he wasn't credited with the loss as netminder Jordan Binnington also allowed three goals and surrendered the game-winning tally to Clayton Keller. Overall, the 25-year-old Hofer has struggled with a 1-1-0 record, a 6.21 GAA and a .789 save percentage across three appearances. Proceed with caution when streaming him in fantasy, as his path to success will likely be matchup dependent for the time being. Regardless, Binnington will likely see the bulk of time between the pipes for St. Louis moving forward, leaving plenty of stronger options available in fantasy than Hofer.

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.
