Former Swift Current Broncos goaltender Joel Hofer stopped all 33 shots he faced as the St. Louis Blues blanked the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 in NHL action on Sunday.

Hofer, who picked up eight shutouts in four WHL seasons with the Broncos and Portland Winterhawks, actually shared the clean sheet with Thomas Greiss, who made one save while Hofer was off the ice tending to an equipment issue.

Kasperi Kapanen, Nathan Walker and Jakub Vrana scored for the Blues while the loss keeps the Jets four points ahead of Calgary for the last wild card spot in the Western Conference. Elsewhere, JT Miller and Elias Pettersson scored as Vancouver beat Anaheim 2-1.

Three Canadian teams hit the ice tonight as Ottawa visits Pittsburgh, Edmonton hosts San Jose, and the Flames visit the LA Kings.
