Hoffman racked up 59 points in 69 games prior to the league going on hiatus in mid-March.
EDGE Analysis
The former Senator's second year in Florida has essentially been an extension of his first, as he's produced at the exact same rate (0.86 points per game) as last season's 70-point effort. Hoffman has also tidied up his plus/minus to the tune of a minus-5 after the hideous minus-24 mark in 2018-19. It's important to note that he's actually received a full minute less of ice time (16:50 vs. 17:50 last year) but has still managed to produce at the same clip, so it appears that life is good for Hoffman under decorated head coach Joel Quenneville.

Hoffman scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman buried his 29th goal of the year late in the second period, beating Jordan Binnington from the right faceoff dot to tie the game at 1-1. Hoffman has lit the lamp in back-to-back games and now has 59 points in 69 games. A second straight 30-goal campaign seems inevitable.

Hoffman registered an empty-net goal on top of an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman split the defense with ease, accumulating a game-high seven shots in the commanding win. The third-period assist officially made it five straight seasons with Hoffman accruing at least 30 helpers, but the Panthers gaining ground in the Atlantic Division playoff race undoubtedly is what the top-six winger cares about the most.

Hoffman scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman has been on a tear over the last couple weeks. He has points in seven consecutive games and tallied six goals and four assists in that span. Hoffman is doing everything he can to will the kitties into the postseason, but the team is 1-3-1 in its last five. He's as hot as they come right now. Enjoy the ride.

Hoffman scored a power-play goal and dished an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman was once again a key part of the Panthers' offense. During their five-game road trip, the winger posted four goals and three helpers. He's up to 53 points (20 on the power play), 183 shots and a minus-5 rating this season. Three of his 25 tallies have been game-winners.

Hoffman potted a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman's excellent run through the Pacific Division has seen him rack up three goals and two assists during his four-game point streak, which coincides with the Panthers' road trip. The 30-year-old winger is up to 24 markers and 51 points this season -- it's the fifth straight year he's surpassed the 50-point mark. Ride Hoffman while he's hot.

Hoffman scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman's goal 36 seconds into the third period tied the game at four, but the Panthers failed to build any momentum from the tally. The 30-year-old is up to 23 markers, 49 points, 177 shots and 28 PIM through 61 outings this season.

Hoffman generated an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman has posted four goals and four helpers through 11 games in February. The 30-year-old winger is at 48 points (22 markers, 26 helpers), 174 shots and a minus-3 rating in 60 contests. He's on track for a second consecutive 30-goal campaign, but he'll likely fall short of the 70-point mark he reached in 2018-19.

Hoffman scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
He's on pace to score 30 goals for the second straight year. The pending UFA is delivering just when he needs to the most. But it remains to be seen if Hoffman can help Florida make the postseason. The Panthers are duking it out for a playoff spot and he's a big part of that. But if the team falls off hard in the next 10 days, Hoffman could be on the move to a contender. The Panthers probably won't want to lose him for nothing in the offseason.

Hoffman scored the game-winning goal and added an assist with five shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 win over Toronto. He also had four hits.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman banked a shot off Toronto goalie Michael Hutchinson from below the goal line to put the Panthers ahead midway through the third period. He also set up Jonathan Huberdeau's power-play goal to tie the game earlier in the frame. Hoffman has hit the scoresheet in all but one of his 12 games since the calendar flipped to 2020, racking up six goals and nine assists in that stretch. That hot streak gives him 19 goals and 42 points in 51 games on the season.
