The 23-year-old showed some upside through six appearances during the 2022-23 campaign, as he posted a 3-1-1 record with a .905 save percentage, a 3.22 GAA and a shutout. Making the leap to the NHL level full time won't be easy, and he'll need to continue to prove himself to hold off Malcolm Subban, who the Blues signed to a one-year deal this summer. There's a wide range of outcomes for Hofer this year, including becoming the 1B behind Binnington, so he's worthy of a late-round flier in fantasy drafts. |

It was still a stellar performance for the 22-year-old, who has won two straight starts since being called up Thursday while stopping 65 of 67 shots. Jordan Binnington's suspension is now up, but the fact that the rebuilding Blues gave both starts to Hofer rather than Greiss in his absence suggests the youngster may not immediately be headed back to AHL Springfield. With Greiss headed for free agency in the offseason, Hofer could get a longer look over the final weeks of the regular season. |
