Hofmann scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Jets.
He finished an odd-man rush with Max Domi, wiring home his second goal of the season past Connor Hellebuyck. Hofmann has responded well to being a healthy scratch Nov. 20 against the Golden Knights, picking up three points in two games with six shots on net and a plus-4 rating since returning to the lineup, and the Swiss rookie is showing some intriguing chemistry with Domi.
