Hoffman scored the first goal of the game in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders, snapping a seven-game streak without finding twine. After going on a binge in which he scored six goals in five games, Hoffman proceeded to manage just a pair of assists over the following seven contests. His ice time has been inconsistent, bouncing between the 12-minute range and the 15-plus minutes he enjoyed Tuesday, which has probably been a factor in his similarly inconsistent scoring.
