Mike Hoffman NHL Career
Mike Hoffman is a professional ice hockey player who has enjoyed a successful career in the NHL. He was born on November 24th, 1989, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He began his hockey career with the Kitchener Dutchman in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League before being drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the 5th round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Hoffman made his NHL debut on April 27th, 2011, and scored his first NHL goal the following season. He established himself as a regular in the Senators' lineup during the 2014-15 season, where he set career highs in goals (27), assists (21), and points (48). The following season, he continued to impress and recorded his first hat trick, on January 9th, 2016, against the Montreal Canadiens.
In June 2018, the Senators traded Mike Hoffman to the San Jose Sharks. However, the Sharks quickly traded him to the Florida Panthers due to off-ice issues. In his first season with the Panthers, he tallied 36 goals and 34 assists, setting career highs in both categories.
After a season with the Panthers, Hoffman became a free agent and signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Blues for the 2020-21 season. He played in 52 games for the Blues, recording 17 goals and 16 assists before becoming a free agent once again.
In July 2021, Mike Hoffman signed a three-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. However, he struggled to find his form with the team, scoring 5 goals in his first 20 games. He was a healthy scratch for several games before being placed on waivers in December 2021. He cleared waivers and was assigned to the Laval Rockets, the Canadiens' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.
Overall, in his 12 seasons in the NHL, Hoffman has played in 652 games, scoring 212 goals and 239 assists for a total of 451 points. He has also played in 33 playoff games, where he has recorded 9 goals and 11 assists for a total of 20 points.
