Blues' 2026-27 playoff hopes could rest on one underperforming player
Heading into Tuesday's matchup against Montreal, Joel Hofer has established himself as the starting goaltender following his opening-night, 25-save shutout against the Dallas Stars. The St. Louis Blues' 2026-27 playoff hopes depend on the availability of a reliable backup goaltender due to the demands of the 84-game NHL schedule. Joel Hofer is currently the starting goaltender for the Blues, but Jordan Binnington is expected to step in as a dependable backup. Binnington, who has had a slow start this season and a 2.92 goals-against average, has seen just shy of 22,000 minutes in the regular season and appears to be slowing down at 33 years old. The Blues need both goalies ready for the postseason stretch run to avoid risk of burnout.
