The Blues remain a bottom-five team defensively (3.73 GA/GP), but have been better lately despite a 1-1-1 record in their last three, allowing only seven goals combined (2.33 GA/GP). Hofer will tend the twine on Monday against the New York Rangers, looking to improve a dreadful 3.89 GAA and .870 SV% through 10 games this season (2-4-2). The Blues enter Monday's contest as +126 road underdogs against a Rangers team that has an abysmal 1-7-1 record on home ice this season.
