Sens argue Game of Thrones' Night King deserves assist on Hoffman goal

Mike Hoffman's first goal of the preseason Monday night needs a third assist, according to the Ottawa Senators.

Hoffman buried a one-time pass from Alex Burrows against the Toronto Maple Leafs after missing a wide-open net, but, as the Senators' social media team revealed, the rest of the play was more intricate than it appeared.

Apparently, the Night King from "Game of Thrones" deserves a helper for tossing Hoffman his stick before he slid the puck past Curtis McElhinney.

It's just more proof that Winter is coming.
