What a surprise Hoffman has been this year for the Sens.
At the beginning of the season, it was clear that this was his final chance. Make the team, or he's put on waivers. A late bloomer at every stage so far, Hoffman had an impressive training camp and made the team. Playing only 14:08 a game, on the fourth line until December, Hoffman has scored 16 even strength goals in 43 games. Only Seguin, Nash, Tarasenko, Stamkos and Pacioretty have more even strength goals than him this year. Those players all average more time on ice than him, and all have played more games so far. He's also been a +19. And he's a rookie.
He's extremely fast (we'll see how fast this weekend, I guess), and has an excellent shot and release
