* First period - Hofer immediately set the tone.Īfter allowing four goals on 21 shots in the loss to the Sharks, the Blues looked to get back to him on Sunday following Jordan Binnington’s game on Saturday and Hofer swallowed Alex Killorn’s wrist ball from the slot with 13:44 minutes remaining without allowing a rebound, which would be a good topic for the 23-year-old. Let’s take a look at the insights from the three game periods and analyze how the Blues returned to winning ice hockey: The Blues (9-7-1) got solid work from their lower forwards to provide much-needed offense, yielding just two goals in losses to the San Jose Sharks and Kings, and Joel Hofer bounced back with a solid 30- salvaged his performance after being withdrawn in his last start against the Sharks.
