Hoffman provided a pair of goals in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Wild. Ottawa netminder Craig Anderson was untouchable, so he didn't need Hoffman's two insurance goals, but he's certainly not complaining. While Hoffman still only has a modest four points in nine games this season, he's been putting pucks on net with regularity lately, having fired 14 shots over his last four games. He's still stuck with bottom-six minutes, but there's no question about his offensive talent -- Hoffman scored 98 goals in his last two junior seasons and posted a 30-goal, 67-point campaign in just 51 AHL contests last year.
