Pens vs. Sens Preview: Getting to Know Mike Hoffman

s the biggest Jagr guy around (who else has a 68 tattoo?), gotta say I didn't like Mike Hoffman at first, since his NHL uniform number. But he did not wear #68 in the minors, so it's likely something a cheap team just saddled him with as a camp number and never bothered to update.

Anyways I saw Hoffman play in the AHL in 2013-14 in some all-star game or something and he was a force. Scored 67 points (30g+37a) in just 51 games that year, even though at a then-age 24 he wasn't a spring chicken of a prospect.
