Hoffman scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman set up Jordan Kyrou's equalizer in the third period. In overtime, Hoffman converted on an Oskar Sundqvist feed to complete the comeback. The 31-year-old Hoffman is up to five goals, 10 points, a plus-5 rating and 38 shots on net through 14 contests this season. He's earned three points in the last two games, so the Ontario native may be heating up a bit.

Hoffman scored twice on nine shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
This is more like the Hoffman fantasy managers have known in previous years. His goals came 2:50 apart late in the third period as the Blues nearly staged an epic comeback, but it wasn't enough. Hoffman doubled his goal output for the year to four -- he's added 28 shots, seven hits and a plus-4 rating in 10 contests. While the Blues' games against the Avalanche this week were postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the Avalanche, Hoffman will get a chance to stay hot as the Coyotes will stay around for two more rescheduled games Saturday and Monday.

Hoffman scored a goal on a team-leading five shots Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman wired a shot from the right faceoff circle to pull the Blues even at 1-1 late in the first period. The first-year Blue has scuffled in the early going with his new club, lighting the lamp just twice in his first nine games after a 29-goal campaign last season with Florida. Stay patient if you've rostered Hoffman; he averaged 28 goals over the previous six seasons for less talented teams than this one.

Hoffman posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman set up Sammy Blais for the Blues' go-ahead goal in the second period. The assist is Hoffman's second in as many games. He now has a goal and three helpers through eight appearances this season. The winger has topped 20 goals in each of the last six campaigns, so this is an unusual dry spell in the goal column, which can be partially attributed to Hoffman operating in a third-line role for the Blues.

Hoffman posted a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman was given credit for a helper on Vince Dunn's third-period strike. It's been less than a storybook start for Hoffman with the Blues -- the goal-scoring winger has just one tally, two assists, 14 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through seven appearances. He's skated on the third line with Robert Thomas in recent games, but Hoffman may benefit more once Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) returns, which would give the Blues three legitimate scoring lines.
