The St. Louis Blues have hit a bit of a snag in the early going of this 2026-27 season. They are 2-2-1, for five points following the monumental comeback victor
Justin Bonhard argues that goaltender Joel Hofer should not be blamed for the St. Louis Blues' sluggish 2-2-1 start to the 2026-27 season. Despite posting a 1-1-1 record across three starts, Hofer has maintained strong individual metrics, including a .930 save percentage, a 1.68 goals against average, and one shutout.
Bonhard contends that Hofer needs significantly more support from the rest of the roster, noting offensive struggles, injuries on defense, and shaky play from backup goaltender Jordan Binnington. With upcoming matchups against Ottawa, Minnesota, and Nashville, the writer maintains the team must improve its offensive output to support Hofer.
