Hoffman will remain on the fourth line with Chris Neil and Curtis Lazar, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Analysis:

Coach Dave Cameron was satisfied with each line's play Sunday, stating "we'll leave that together for awhile." Hoffman skated at even strength for just 10:13, but he did see 3:33 on the power play, tied for second-most on the team (he has 12 points with the man advantage this season). Obviously, this demotion hurts the winger's value, who has amassed 25 goals and 21 assists to date. The 26-year-old will be forced to become more comfortable with his new line, but even then, Hoffman should be relegated in fantasy lineups.
