Hoffman scored his fourth goal of the season and had four shots on goal in Sunday's win over Toronto. Hoffman has been solid this season, recording five points in 11 games, to go with a plus-6 rating. The 24-year-old boasts great offensive talent, but his fantasy value is limited due to his current fourth-line role. Averaging only 12:45 of ice time per game, Hoffman may have the skill, but as long as his minutes stay down, his full fantasy potential will remain untapped.

Hoffman provided a pair of goals in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Wild. Ottawa netminder Craig Anderson was untouchable, so he didn't need Hoffman's two insurance goals, but he's certainly not complaining. While Hoffman still only has a modest four points in nine games this season, he's been putting pucks on net with regularity lately, having fired 14 shots over his last four games. He's still stuck with bottom-six minutes, but there's no question about his offensive talent -- Hoffman scored 98 goals in his last two junior seasons and posted a 30-goal, 67-point campaign in just 51 AHL contests last year.

Hoffman scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets. He also picked up an assist. OK, so he wuffed on a penalty shot in the first period, but he made up for it with a beauty of a goal to win the game. He has lots of offensive talent or at least he's shown lots in the AHL. But he's struggled to find a place in the NHL. Perhaps this is the year he sticks. Keep an eye on him.

Coach Paul MacLean said after morning skate that Hoffman would be in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch reports. The Senators have rotated the fourth-line wing spot between Hoffman, Erik Condra and Colin Greening thus far, with none of those options gaining much traction thus far. Hoffman showcased a ton of offensive potential with AHL Binghamton last season, but he'll have difficulty finding the net with much regularity while he sees light minutes in a bottom-six role.

Mike Hoffman has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Senators. He collected three goals and three assists in 25 games with Ottawa last season. Hoffman spent most of the year in the AHL with Binghamton, where he tallied 30 goals and 67 points.

Mike Hoffman scored the only Senators goal in a 2-1 shootout victory over the Devils Thursday night. Hoffman's third goal of the season midway through the second period put the Sens ahead by a score of 1-0; a lead that wouldn't last. Mika Zibanejad and Cody Ceci picked up helpers on the marker.

Mike Hoffman scored in Ottawa's 8-4 loss to the New York Rangers. He has two goals and one assist in 12 NHL games this season. Hoffman had two points against Winnipeg on Mar. 8 for his first big-league scores.

With the injury to Clarke MacArthur, Mike Hoffman will likely skate alongside Kyle Turris and Bobby Ryan. At least that is the way it went on practice Friday. Hoffman has had tremendous success with Binghamton this season in the 51 games he's played, scoring 30 goals and registering 67 points, good for second in AHL scoring. He bears watching.

Mike Hoffman was called up by Ottawa Monday morning. "This is third time we've had him up here (in the past two seasons)," coach Paul MacLean said. "Is this the time that he's ready to come and play? It's certainly appears like it, the way he has played in Binghamton." Hoffman ranks second in AHL scoring with 30 goals and 37 assists in 51 games. He skated with Mika Zibanejad and Bobby Ryan in Monday's session.

The Ottawa Senators have sent Mike Hoffman down to the minors. Hoffman has no points in three games with Ottawa this season. He also has 11 goals and 15 assists in 21 AHL contests.
