Joel Hofer took over the starting goaltender’s job for the St. Louis Blues last season. As Jordan Binnington struggled, Hofer took advantage of the opportunity and claimed the number-one role for himself.

On draft day in 2007, the Florida Panthers acquired goaltender Tomas Vokoun from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2007 second-round pick, a 2008 first-round pick, and a 2008 second-round pick.

The Seattle Kraken are entering the 2026-27 season with a noticeably different outlook than they had a year ago.
