Hoffman scored a power-play goal and had an assist in Sunday's win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

That's 11 goals and 27 points in 35 games for Hoffman, who continues to produce for an Ottawa team clinging to a playoff spot. The 27-year-old has struck seven times with the man advantage and has delivered in the clutch with three game-winning goals. Hoffman might not match his career-high numbers from last season, but he's a consistent producer who thrives on the power play due to his lethal shot.

Hoffman picked up a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Rather unusually, low-scoring blueliners Mark Borowiecki and Cody Ceci collected their first goals of the year on long-distance blasts off Hoffman passes. No other Senator went plus-2, so you can safely say that Hoffman deserves the least blame of anyone for this loss. He hadn't picked up a multi-point effort for the entirety of December, but Hoffman's been a pretty reliable scoresheet presence anyway. The 27-year-old winger's fantasy owners are getting what they paid for.

Hoffman scored the overtime winner on the power play in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman's only shot of the game was also the most important one. He skated 16:46 in his second game back from a two-game suspension, and is serving as the second-line left winger behind Ryan Dzingel following Ottawa's latest line reshuffling.

Hoffman (suspension) has served out his two-game ban and is eligible to return against Chicago on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was suspended for a cross-check to the head of San Jose centerman Logan Couture. With Hoffman out, the Sens recalled Casey Bailey from the minors, but have since returned him to AHL Binghamton. Through 28 games this year, the 27-year-old Hoffman has compiled an impressive nine goals and 12 helpers along with 27 PIM and can certainly offer solid fantasy value in most formats.

Hoffman picked up a two-game suspension for his hit on Logan Couture, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Ottawa playing a back-to-back this weekend, the winger will be back on the ice by Tuesday for a game against Chicago. He has 21 points in 28 games, including 10 power play points, so he's a player worth having when he's not getting disciplined. When he returns, he will likely slot right back into the lineup and pick up where he left off.

Hoffman will hear from the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Friday concerning his cross-check to the head of Sharks forward Logan Couture in the third period of Wednesday's game, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garrioch adds that Hoffman's punishment -- assuming there is one -- will result in a four-game ban as the worst-case scenario, or he may only be fined, considering that it's a phone hearing as opposed to a mandated appearance in front of any type of hockey court. Hoffman was assessed a major penalty and ejected from the game due to the controversial play, and working against him is that Couture left with an undisclosed injury. It will be interesting to see what the ruling is here.

Hoffman received a major penalty for cross-checking and was ejected in the third period of Wednesday's shootout loss to San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman will want to keep his phone lines open because the NHL's Department of Player Safety will likely be looking to contact the 26-year-old winger. While he could be facing a suspension, fantasy owners shouldn't make any hasty roster moves. For now, taking a wait-and-see approach with Hoffman is advised.

Hoffman recorded a power-play goal on four shots during Monday's 8-5 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

There was little defense played in Monday's contest, allowing Hoffman to notch his fifth goal in the last four games. Three of those markers have come on the power play and the 27-year-old now sits at nine points during the man advantage on the season. The winger is feasting after suffering a pointless streak of five during November, as the blossoming star has registered six tallies and six assists in an eight game span -- Hoffman is officially on fire.

Hoffman scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added two PIM during Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

With 12 shots over two games, Hoffman's extremely aggressive mindset has led to four goals -- two during the man advantage. The 27-year-old has not only settled in, he's taking over as the most lethal forward on the Senators. Coach Guy Boucher is letting the winger rip it toward net, as he sits at 74 shots on goal in just 22 contests. If you're looking for more to get excited about, Hoffman is averaging 2:50 of ice time during the power play, producing eight points -- four goals and four helpers -- to help further his case as an emerging star.

Hoffman dropped a hat trick -- one goal on the power play -- adding an assist and a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode. The winger was unable to register a hat trick in 2015-16, but it was only a matter of time until his shots started turning into goals this year (62 coming into Tuesday). With the expectation of a breakout, four goals and eight assists through 20 games wasn't ideal, but the 27-year-old was able to jump start his quest to reach 20-plus tallies for a third straight season. Hoffman has reached the scoresheet in four of the past five and seems to be just getting started.
