Panthers' Mike Hoffman: Thriving on man advantage

Hoffman now has 34 points on the man advantage -- accounting for more than half of his total (65). He is the only player among the league's top-50 in points to have more power-play points than even-strength points. The offensive discrepancy certainly explains the minus-22 that puts him in the bottom 10 for plus-minus.

Hoffman also had two hits, two shots and two blocked shots in the contest. His goal ended up counting as the game-winner -- his sixth of the season. The two-point night helped the winger set a new career high with 63 points (32 goals, 31 apples) in 70 games in his first season with the Panthers. With 32 of his points coming on the man advantage, Hoffman has been an excellent winger in fantasy circles.
