Hofer will guard the home net Sunday against the Kraken, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Scouting Report
Led Canada to gold at the 2020 WJC, showing he can step up in big situations. Was also good enough to make his NHL debut at age 21, which is usually young for a goaltender. Has the height NHL teams want from their netminders today, but still has to fill out and get stronger. Stays calm in the crease area and generates trust from his coaches.
Long Range Potential: Talented goaltender with upside.
