Hoffman scored a first-period goal and registered three shots during Tuesday's Game 6 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The winger scored in consecutive games to finish off the Rangers, and he's up to four goals, seven points and 34 shots during the postseason. Hoffman has posted three straight 25-goal seasons and is a key offensive cog for Ottawa. The Sens will need him to continue frequenting the scoresheet to have a shot at advancing past the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hoffman scored two goals -- one with the man advantage -- and registered eight shots on net during Monday's Game 3 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
After being held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the series, this was a breakout showing for Hoffman. He's posted three consecutive 20-goal campaigns, and is a key offensive piece for Ottawa. With the offensive monkey off his back, Hoffman could easily parlay Monday's huge outing into a strong stretch. He's notoriously streaky, after all.

Hoffman is expected to stay back in Ottawa for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Islanders, Brent Wallace of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman's gear remained in his stall after Saturday's game, indicating he is unlikely to travel to Brooklyn on Sunday. The Senators are likely to summon several from AHL Binghamton to fill out their lines in the final game of the season before the playoffs.

Hoffman netted a pair of goals in Saturday's loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
It was a tough loss for Ottawa, but Hoffman continues to tear it up, hitting the 25-goal mark for the third consecutive season. The sniper has scored in back-to-back games and has become a reliable goal-scorer who you can roll out every game. The Senators are losing grip on their playoff position, so look for Hoffman to be at his best down the final stretch as Ottawa tries to lock down a playoff spot.

Hoffman picked up a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- as well as a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 road victory against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Since missing a pair of late-February contests to injury, Hoffman has returned with a vengeance, piling up 14 points (12 of them assists) over 13 games. Just think how good things will be when his shots start falling again -- with just two goals on 37 shots in that span, he actually has room to get even hotter. It won't take much of a push for Hoffman to clear last season's 59 points; he's now at 53.

Hoffman scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman has amped up the production of late and has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in his last 11 games. He has 48 points in 60 games and is on track to come close to his 59-point career high established last season.

Hoffman collected two assists -- one with the man advantage -- during Wednesday's win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old winger has found the scoresheet in five of his past six outings for a goal and six assists. Hoffman has established himself as an excellent fantasy asset and boasts a 19th-ranked 2.63 points per 60 minutes among all skaters with at least 3,000 minutes over the past three years. He's likely still undervalued in some fantasy circles, too.

Hoffman dished out two helpers Thursday against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman skated on a line with the newly acquired Alex Burrows and Derrick Brassard, and both of his helpers resulted in goals by Burrows. The 27-year-old winger has three goals and three assists in his past six appearances after failing to register a point over the previous five games. Hoffman also raised his rating to plus-10 with a plus-2 effort here, making him one of just four players with double-digit power-play goals and a double-digit positive rating.

Hoffman (lower body) is in the lineup for Sunday's road matchup with Panthers, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman took line rushes and is poised to return to the lineup after a two-game absence. He is slated to be on Ottawa's top line alongside Zack Smith and Kyle Turris. Hoffman posted a goal, an assist, and a plus-4 rating in his last five games before getting hurt, so he'll look to keep up the all-around efficiency Sunday.

Hoffman (lower body) will be a game-time call for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman missed the last couple of contests due to a lower-body issue, but could rejoin the lineup Sunday. An official update on the winger's status should arrive closer to puck drop, but the team could certainly use his efforts in a key matchup against a division rival.
