Hoffman potted two goals -- including the game-winning tally -- on five shots, adding two PIM and a plus-2 rating during Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against the Canadiens in the preseason.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman is poised to explode this upcoming season, and a performance like this only solidifies that possibility. The 26-year-old got paid in the offseason and looks to be the 30-goal winger the Sens desperately need to get right back into playoff contention. New coach Guy Boucher could bring the best out of the 2009 fifth-round pick, which may spell a new milestone when the season is all said and done. Hoffman had a career-high 59 points in 2015-16, and it wouldn't be surprising if that was his floor moving forward.
