Hoffman (groin) will not play Tuesday night against the Devils, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was among three Ottawa forwards to sustain an injury in Sunday's game against the Jets -- Mark Stone (neck) and Tommy Wingels (undisclosed) were the others. Ottawa's 17th-ranked power play takes a huge hit without Hoff, who has 11 power-play goals and is tied for fourth in the league with Patrick Eaves of the Stars in said category. Expect Ryan Dzingel to claim the top man-advantage slot at left wing while Hoffman heals.
