Red-hot Florida Panthers winger Mike Hoffman will face his former team, the Ottawa Senators, on Sunday afternoon but it is not the only storyline in this battle between Atlantic Division rivals.
Both the host Panthers (5-5-3, 13 points) and the Senators (7-7-3, 17 points) will have a quick turnaround since they both played on Saturday night. In addition, Sunday’s contest is a couple hours earlier than usual -- at 5 p.m. local time.
The Senators will also have to travel from Tampa Bay, where they staged an incredible comeback to beat the Lightning, 6-4.
