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.
Hey @NHL, please add an assist to @MHoffy68's first goal last night. #WinterIsComing pic.twitter.com/S7sDeKbraO

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.
