Hoffman had a goal on one shot while adding one hit and one blocked shot in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman one-timed a feed from Corey Schueneman early in the second period to knot that game at one apiece. The tally happened after dogged forechecking by the Canadiens in the Sabres' end. The goal snapped a four-game pointless drought for Hoffman, who had a five-game point streak before hitting the more recent fallow stretch. The 32-year-old forward has eight points, seven assists, 80 shots, 14 hits, 14 PIM with a minus-19 rating through 33 contests.
