Blues goalie Joel Hofer is putting together a Vezina-caliber start, stopping high-danger chances at an elite rate while facing a heavy shot load.
Writer Michael Meyer argues that St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer is quietly building a legitimate Vezina Trophy resume. Through nine games, Hofer has posted a 5-3-1 record with a 2.24 goals against average and a .923 save percentage, while facing nearly 29 shots per game.
Meyer highlights Hofer's ability to steal points during offensive lulls, including a 25-save shutout against Dallas on October 2 and a 32-save performance in a 2-1 win over Winnipeg on October 19. The writer notes that Hofer has transitioned into the team's primary starter ahead of his contract expiring following the 2026-27 season.
