Hofmann picked up two assists in Monday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
The Swiss League veteran is still getting his feet wet in the NHL as a 29-year-old rookie, but Hofmann may have found a home on the Jackets' third line alongside Jack Roslovic and Max Domi. The trio combined for three goals and eight points in Monday's big win, and while Hofmann has only one goal and five points through his first 15 games with Columbus, he has the offensive skill to be a contributor once he's gotten comfortable.
