Hoffman scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight game, Hoffman extended his point streak with a goal during the final minutes of regulation. The first-year Panther has 10 goals and 20 points in 19 games, including nine power-play points.

Hoffman collected an assist in a 2-1 win over the Flyers on Tuesday, extending his point streak to 13 games.

EDGE Analysis

That ties the Panthers' franchise record set by Pavel Bure in the 1999-2000 season. The Cats face the Blue Jackets on Thursday as Hoffman hopes to keep his streak going.

Hoffman dished out two helpers in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Not only did he get some sweet revenge against the team that traded him away last summer, but Hoffman extended his point streak to 12 games. The 28-year-old winger now has seven goals and seven assists through 14 contests.

Hoffman continued his nine-game point streak with a power play goal in Friday's 4-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

After going the first two games of the year without a point, Hoffman has been relentless. He has posted five goals and eight points in his last eight games and has been particularly potent on the power-play. Of the team's 10 goals on the man advantage, Hoffman has scored or assisted on five of them. With the Panthers starved for offense, expect Hoffman to get even more opportunity going forward.

Hoffman extended his current goal streak to four games (four goals) with a snipe in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

He's also riding a seven-game point streak (five goals, two assists). Hoffman is fitting right into the Panthers' offence and he could just set a career mark in goals and points if he continues to shine in the Sunshine State.

Hoffman scored the game-winner on the power play 33 seconds into overtime during Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has had a quick start to his first campaign outside Ottawa, scoring four goals and six points in eight games, with half his production coming on the power play. Hoffman's role with the man advantage -- he's seeing more than four minutes of power-play time a night so far -- should easily allow him to record his fifth straight 20-goal season.

Hoffman scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman fired a season-high seven shots on net, but his third period goal was too late to make a difference. He now has a point in five straight games (three goals, two assists) and is recording plenty of power-play minutes to be a valuable daily play.

Hoffman scored with just over a minute left in the third period to tie the game in an eventual 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With the goalie pulled for the extra attacker, Hoffman sent a soft wrister to the net that squeaked past Jimmy Howard and into the back of the net. Hoffman had been relegated to the fourth line to open the game, but managed to score when it mattered most to the team. He now has two goals and two assists through six games.

For the second time, Hoffman looks to start a game on the fourth line after he practiced there on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman seems to have started the season off in head coach Bob Boughner's doghouse, as he once again practiced on the fourth line. Before last Saturday's game against the Canucks, Hoffman practiced and then started on the fourth line, but was returned to the second midway through the third period. Now he looks to start a second game on the fourth line, although Boughner has shuffled the lines repeatedly in the last week. During Wednesday's practice, Jonathan Huberdeau was on the fourth line but was returned to the second line on Thursday, so Hoffman may not be on the fourth line for very long.

Hoffman started Saturday's game demoted to the third line, but is now back on the second line in practice, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman's demotion did not last long as head coach Bob Boughner put the former Senator back with Jonathan Huberdeau and Vincent Trocheck during the middle of the third period against the Canucks on Saturday. Hoffman is off to a slow start, only collecting one assist through three games. After being acquired from the San Jose Sharks in the offseason Hoffman was expected to add to a dynamic Panthers top six, but has yet to find his footing with his new teammates.
