Hoffman had a power-play assist and four shots on net in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

After Nick Suzuki won an offensive zone draw, Hoffman immediately sent a pass cross ice to Tyler Toffoli, who scored on a slapper three seconds into the Canadiens' power play. It was the seventh time in the last eight games that Montreal's scored on the man advantage, a rare glimmer of hope in a disappointing season. Hoffman ran his point streak to five games with the assist, which was his third power-play point during that stretch.
