Hoffman (concussion) won't play Saturday versus Chicago, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
This will be the seventh consecutive absence for Hoffman, though he has resumed practicing with the Sharks. The 34-year-old winger has 10 goals and 22 points through 61 games this season. Klim Kostin should continue to get a look on San Jose's top line in Hoffman's absence, with blueliner Jacob MacDonald suiting up as a forward again.
