Hoffman had an assist over 15:22 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman cleared the zone on the rush before feeding Rem Pitlick, who took the puck the rest of the way and beat Alex Lyon for Montreal's first tally. The 33-year-old Hoffman has points in two straight games. He's been a healthy scratch candidate of late -- four times in the last eight contests -- but a spate of injuries among the team's forwards means Hoffman could get regular ice time for the next several weeks.

Hoffman had an assist, one shot on goal and one assist over 13:28 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman was the primary helper on Brendan Gallagher's tally late in the third period. It was his second assist in three games but just his fourth point over the last 12. The Canadiens, mired in a six-game losing streak during which they've scored just 11 goals, desperately need scoring, and Hoffman has just two goals since the middle of November.

Hoffman had a power-play assist and a team-high five shots on goal over 13:42 of ice time in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Hoffman set up Josh Anderson for a first-period score, snapping a three-game run without a point. Multiple Montreal forwards are slumping, as the team scored just 14 goals over the last seven outings. It's even worse for the power-play units, which remain last in the NHL at 14.9 percent after pocketing two power-play goals Thursday.
