The Canadiens said in a press release Hoffman is being monitored closely by doctors. He joins teammates Arturri Lekhonen and Laurent Dauphin on the protocol list.
Montreal's remaining games before the holiday break have already been postponed, and the club shut down all team activities until at least Dec. 26 on Monday.
Hoffman, 32, has eight points through 19 games this season. He's currently in the first year of a three-year, $13.5-million deal he signed with the Canadiens in the off-season.
