Hoffman was unable to register a point despite three shots on goal during a 3-0 loss to the Stars on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Panthers offense has fallen flat recently, scoring more than three goals only once in their seven games this month. Hoffman himself has only three points in his last nine games. It has still been a good season for Hoffman despite the slow down, as he has 45 points in 55 games.

Hoffman put in the game-winning goal during a 3-1 win over the Golden Knights on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal ended a three-game scoring drought for Hoffman -- his longest of the season. The winger has found himself playing on the third line again this season as head coach Bob Boughner attempts to spread out the scoring, but Hoffman has managed to score no matter where he is in the lineup. He has 43 points in 50 games this season, 21 of which have come on the power play.

Hoffman scored the game's opening goal and ended the night a plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Bob Boughner shuffled his lineup before both Thursday and Friday's game as the team searches to create chemistry. During Friday's game, the combination of Hoffman, Henrik Borgstrom, and Denis Malgin worked well as they put up the opening goal and added a combined eight shots in the game. However, the Panthers still lost, meaning Boughner will probably blend the lines again heading into Sunday's game against the Canucks.

Hoffman scored his 20th of the season during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
If you are looking for the model of consistency this season, Hoffman may be your guy. He has scored at least a point in 30 out of his 40 games played, even though he is below a point-per-game pace. The first-year Panther is on pace to break his career-high in goals of 29, as he already has 20 close to the halfway mark of the season.

Hoffman is on a four-game point streak after scoring a goal during a 2-1 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman has five points over the four-game point streak, with all but one of those points coming on the power play. Since being moved to the second line Hoffman has struggled to produce during 5v5 play, but is always a threat to score on the man advantage,

Hoffman scored on the power play during a 6-3 victory over the Blackhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After such a 17-game scoring streak earlier in the season, Hoffman has gone cold for his own standards with only four points in his last six games. However, the former Senator scored in both games of a back-to-back over the weekend and now sits with 17 goals and 33 points in 35 games going into the Christmas break.

Hoffman was responsible for two assists in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was his sixth multi-point game of the season as the Panthers top line continues to light the lamp offensively. The former fifth-round pick is on pace to have a career season despite the Cats sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic division.

Hoffman scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman's tallies bookended a four-goal second-period explosion by the Panthers, with his first coming at even strength and the second on the power play (with five seconds left in the frame). The change of scenery from Ottawa to South Florida continues to serve Hoffman well, as his 26 points in 26 games have him on pace to eclipse his career-high 61 in 74 back in 2016-17.

Hoffman collected an assist during a 5-4 overtime loss to the Lighting on Saturday to bring his point total to 24.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman's previous career-high was 61 points in 74 games, but this season has started the year on a nearly point-per-game pace. Right now he projects to end with 78 points, a huge leap since he is already 29-years-old. The Panthers have had trouble winning, but no trouble scoring and it doesn't look as though they will be slowing down anytime soon in that department.

Hoffman scored a goal and added seven shots on net in Monday's overtime win versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman hosted a shooting parade, recording over 20 percent of the Panthers' shots on net. He finally cashed in on a brilliant pass from Jonathan Huberdeau to win the game in overtime. Hoffman is the focal point of the Panthers' offense with 12 goals, 23 points and 85 shots on net in 22 games.
