Hofer stopped 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) but picked up his first loss of the season as he took a 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings in his last start. The 22-year-old has been sensational in limited action after being called up last week, with his 2-0-1 record, 1.32 GAA and .959 SV%. He will face a familiar foe in the Detroit Red Wings again Thursday, who snapped a three-game losing streak with their 3-2 win over St. Louis the other night.
