Hoffman buried a one-timer on the power play during Thursday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman now has 34 points on the man advantage -- accounting for more than half of his total points (65). He is the only player among the league's top 50 in points to have more power-play points than even-strength points. The point discrepancy certainly explains the minus-22 that puts him in the bottom 10 for plus-minus.

Hoffman scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman also had two hits, two shots and two blocked shots in the contest. Hoffman's goal ended up counting as the game-winner, his sixth of the season. The two point night helped the winger set a new career high with 63 points (32 goals, 31 apples) in 70 games in his first season with the Panthers. With 32 of his points coming on the man advantage, Hoffman has been an excellent winger in fantasy circles.

Hoffman dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
He immediately got in the action with a power-play assist on Henrik Borgstrom's goal just 1:45 into the period, and Hoffman set up Vincent Trocheck's off-angle goal late in the second frame. Hoffman now has 59 points through 66 games, and he's just two points shy of the career high he set back in the 2016-17 campaign with the Senators.

Hoffman scored twice on the power-play in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The pair of goals, both assisted by Keith Yandle and Jonathan Huberdeau, helped the Panthers overturn an early deficit. Hoffman totaled four shots and two hits in the contest. He's scored in three straight games and owns a five-game point streak, during which he's accumulated eight points. Most importantly, Hoffman has his first 30-goal season, doing so in only 63 games this year. The only concern for the elite sniper is a minus-22 rating. He also extended his career high for power-play points, with 29 this season.

Hoffman exploded for a goal and two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman scored the tying goal in the third period, and then set up defenseman Aaron Ekblad for the game-winning goal in overtime. Hoffman fired seven shots on goal and added two blocked shots in a strong performance. Hoffman has 27 each of goals and helpers this year, although his minus-19 rating may weigh down his value a bit.

The Panthers will entertain trade offers for Hoffman, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators dealt Hoffman to the Sharks in June, only for Team Teal to reroute him to the Panthers in a deal that involved four draft picks. Hoffman has proven that he can be an effective offensive producer where he plays, but with 26 goals and 23 helpers through 58 games, the 29-year-old is actually performing at a career-best rate with Florida. Hoffman has one year remaining on a contract valued at $5.187 million annually before he'll be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent.

Hoffman picked up a pair of assists in Sunday's 6-3 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman has posted back-to-back two-point games and is up to 49 points through 57 games in 2018-19. He picked up a secondary assist on Aleksander Barkov's power-play to open the scoring Sunday, before adding another helper late in the game on an empty-net goal.

Hoffman scored the game-winning goal and added an assist during a 3-2 shootout win over the Flames on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hopefully this effort helps to wake up Hoffman, whose offense went quiet since min-January. Head coach Bob Boughner at times has used him on the third line -- limiting his production significantly -- but he is now back with Vincent Trocheck and Evgenii Dadonov on the second line. Hoffman now has 47 points through 56 games.
