Joel Hofer Shuts Out Islanders With 34 Saves
2 months agoSt. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer was unbeatable for the New York Islanders on Thursday, skating away from a 1-0 overtime win with his second career shutout. Hofer stopped the Islanders from scoring with 34 saves and also made an offensive impact, as Jake Neighbours scored the game's only goal off assists by Hofer and Philip Broberg. The Blues backup will be very happy with his start to the season, having won both of his outings so far. Hofer defeated San Jose 5-4 in overtime a week ago. Jordan Binnington is carrying a losing record early in the year at 1-2-0, and if he doesn't improve, Hofer could start receiving action more often.
