EDGE Analysis

Hoffman set up Rafael Harvey-Pinard for Montreal's second goal. He has 10 points (two goals) over the last 11 contests, including three power-play helpers. That could make him a possible trade target for teams in playoff contention, but suitors would like to see him light the lamp more. Montreal added him in 2021 to fix its power play, but he's scored just one on that unit this season (nine overall). Hoffman's trade value will increase if he can start putting pucks in the net. He has one year remaining on his contract, but Arpon Basu of The Athletic believes the Canadiens might be willing to retain some of the money on the contract.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman set up Rem Pitlick for the game winner to complete Montreal's comeback from a 2-0 deficit. He has points in three straight games. The Canadiens added Cole Caufield (shoulder) to injured reserve Saturday, the seventh forward currently on IR, which means Hoffman is likely to be a lineup regular following a recent stretch in which he was a healthy scratch. He had 19:33 of TOI prior to the OT, which was his most in the last 18 games and bettered his season average by more than five minutes.
