The Canadiens host the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Bell Center on Saturday night, and Mike Hoffman is looking forward to it.
Posted at 11:41 am
He’s already looking forward to it as Hoffman is playing as best as he can these days as he has scored 3 goals in his last 2 games. It’s the first time this season he’s scored in consecutive games, having scored just one before that sudden outburst.
It also comes as he appears to have achieved some cohesion with Christian Dvorak and Brendan Gallagher aboard the second line.
“We’ve played the three of us well together since Detroit (Tuesday night) and we’ve been successful,” noted the veteran forward at the Bell Center on Saturday morning. Each of us brings something different to the club.
“I think that kind of cohesion can make a big difference. In the NHL, however, the lines rarely stay the same, so don’t fall into a comfort zone too much. »
In fact, Hoffman has often been criticized for being too lazy, and he’s the first to speak of that consistency everyone looks for to succeed in this league.
You have to play consistently, every game night. You must also learn to be balanced; Never get too carried away when things are going well, and never get too depressed when things aren’t going so well.

In any case, things are going quite well for the Canadian, who has just won twice in a row. The Penguins have also had a back-to-back win, but they’re still recovering from a seven-game losing streak.
“It’s a dominant team,” emphasized defender David Savard despite everything. It’s an offensive powerhouse and they’ve had good players for years. »
Jake Allen will be on the net for the Canadiens.
