Hoffman scored a goal and added an assist in a 10-2 win over Florida on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
His five-game, six-point scoring streak to end the season is too little, too late for fantasy managers. The once prolific sniper's game seems to have fallen off a cliff, but perhaps this late burst can be carried into next season. Hoffman is signed through 2023-24 with an AAV of $4.5 million.
