Mike Hoffman was called up by Ottawa Monday morning. "This is third time we've had him up here (in the past two seasons)," coach Paul MacLean said. "Is this the time that he's ready to come and play? It's certainly appears like it, the way he has played in Binghamton." Hoffman ranks second in AHL scoring with 30 goals and 37 assists in 51 games. He skated with Mika Zibanejad and Bobby Ryan in Monday's session.
