Hoffman dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman came out of the gate on fire with five goals and two assists in the season's first four games. He then went cold with just two points over the next 12 games, but Hoffman has heated back up with an active three-game point streak. The 29-year-old forward will need to find more consistency moving forward if Hoffman wants to come close to last season's career-best 70-point output.

EDGE Analysis

The goal pulled the Panthers back within one after they fell down 4-0 heading into the third period. Keith Yandle tied the game with under two minutes left to play, and Hoffman scored the shootout winner in the fourth round. The Cats will be happy to get offense from Hoffman, who had managed only one goal and two assists in the previous 11 games.

Hoffman was held off the scoresheet with only one shot on net during Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

After putting up seven points in the first four games of the season, Hoffman has only managed three points in his last 11. The Panthers' power play has come down to earth this year, with the team converting only 21.7 percent of the time compared to last season's 26.8. Not only that, but the Cats are fifth to last in power-play opportunities after ending last season with the third-most chances. That hurts Hoffman's production, as he saw 35 of his 70 points last season come on the man advantage.

Hoffman scored a power-play tally in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The goal snapped a five-game point drought for the goal-scoring winger. Hoffman is up to six goals and nine points in 12 games for the Panthers, with four of his points coming on the man advantage. Half of his points in 2018-19 (35 out of 70) were on the power play.

Hoffman failed to register a point for the fourth-straight game in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Only once last season did Hoffman have a pointless streak last more than three games, and it came in the last month of the season. Surprisingly, the Panthers have scored 16 goals over their last four games, so it is not a lack of team offense that is keeping Hoffman off the scoresheet. In the first four games of the season, he scored five goals on 21 shots, but over the last four games, he has only fired six shots on goal and has yet to convert.

Hoffman scored a goal on a game-high nine shots and had two PIM in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman's goal came with just 11 seconds remaining in regulation and sent the game into overtime. He took a cross-ice from Evgenii Dadonov at the right faceoff dot and calmly unloaded a rocket of a wrist shot that beat Buffalo goalie Linus Ullmark cleanly. Hoffman has now reached the scoresheet in all four games this season, totaling five goals and two assists so far. He had career highs of 36 goals and 70 points in 2018-19, his first year as a Panther.

EDGE Analysis

He also added six shots and a hit to his ledger. Hoffman is flying to begin the season with four goals and six points through three games, and after notching career highs with 36 goals and 70 points in 2018-19, the 29-year-old is looking to take things to another level this year.

Hoffman scored three goals in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Two came on the power play; the third was the game winner. Hoffman is coming off a career-high 36-goal, 70-point season and many thought his game would slide back toward the 60-point mark this season. But maybe not. Hoffman has four goals in two games and looks every part a stud sniper. Smart owners would be wise to peddle him in a trade, though. There are panicky owners out there are already (go figure) and you might be able to snag a slow starter by leveraging Hoffman in a deal. He's good, but not this good.

Hoffman scored his first goal of the season in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a career-high in goals last campaign with 36, Hoffman has hit the ground running, potting a goal in the 2019-20 season opener. With Vincent Trocheck now healthy, Hoffman should benefit from having a consistent center and a big role on the Cats' deadly power play. It looks like he's ready to have another big year.

Hoffman nabbed a pair of assists Monday against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman saw a season-high 22:28 of ice time in the contest thanks to a high-scoring affair, adding four shots on goal to his ledger. He has now racked up five points over his last three contests and a career-high 69 over 76 games thanks to a talented Panthers squad surrounding him.
