Hoffman (lower body) is targetting Tuesday's matchup with San Jose to make his season debut, telling reporters, "The body feels good and I'm ready to go," Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

If given the all-clear, Hoffman will first need to be activated off injured reserve with a corresponding roster move needed to clear a spot on the 23-man roster. Based on Monday's practice session, Hoffman figures to take on a third-line role while also joining the No. 1 power-play unit which should set him up to get back over the 20-goal mark this year.
