Senators' Mike Hoffman: Doubtful to play Saturday

Hoffman (undisclosed) is "less than likely" to play Saturday's game against the Panthers according to coach Guy Boucher.

Analysis:

Hoffman will most likely miss his second straight game Saturday, but we will provide an update prior to puck drop if indeed he does suit up. Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Zack Smith stand to see more ice time during Hoffman's extended absence.
