Canadiens' Mike Hoffman: Expected to miss another week

Hoffman (upper body) is still at least a week away from playing, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Given his timeline, Hoffman will miss the Canadiens' three-game road trip at a minimum. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran winger was stuck in a six-game goal drought despite racking up 22 shots over that stretch. In addition to a top-six role, Hoffman should reclaim his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit once ready to play.
