Returns to AHL Sogaard was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Sogaard was summoned Tuesday, and he served as the backup behind Andrei Vasilevskiy in that night's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. Sogaard was with the team because Dennis Hildeby (undisclosed) wasn't available. Sogaard's return to the minors might indicate that Hildeby is expected to be fine for Thursday's home game against Seattle, but that hasn't been confirmed.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Lightning Tuesday Sogaard was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Sogaard is set to provide goaltender depth behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and Dennis Hildeby at the NHL level following his call-up. The 25-year-old Sogaard is off to a strong start to the 2026-27 AHL regular season, where he has a 1-1-0 record, a shutout, a 1.73 GAA and a .937 save percentage across three appearances. It's unclear how long he will be with the Lightning before returning to the AHL, but if he does hit the ice at some point during his stint back in the NHL, he'll be doing so in his debut for Tampa Bay.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Opens AHL season with shutout Sogaard notched a 27-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 2-0 win over Laval on Friday.

Impact Sogaard's first game for Syracuse was a huge success. The goalie will be the organizational No. 3 for the Lightning, but he probably won't see much NHL time unless Andrei Vasilevksiy or Dennis Hildeby gets hurt. Last year, Sogaard went 7-13-4 with a 3.69 GAA and an .874 save percentage for AHL Belleville in the regular season.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Hits waivers Sunday Sogaard was placed on waivers by the Lightning on Sunday.

Impact Sogaard signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Lightning in the offseason after he was a part of the Senators' goalie carousel in 2025-26 during Linus Ullmark's absence. The 25-year-old Sogaard primarily played with AHL Belleville, where he posted a 7-13-4 record, a 3.69 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 27 regular-season outings. He'll look to battle for AHL Syracuse's No. 1 spot between the pipes with the departure of Brandon Halverson.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to terms with Tampa Bay Sogaard signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Wednesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Sogaard has seen limited playing time in the NHL across the past five seasons, and he'll get a change of scenery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Across 27 regular-season appearances with AHL Belleville last year, he went 7-13-4 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dressed as backup Sogaard (lower body) is serving as Denmark's No. 2 netminder versus Czechia in Tuesday's qualification game at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Impact Sogaard left Saturday's loss to the Americans in the final frame but is seemingly well enough to be an option if he is needed Tuesday. The 25-year-old netminder will back up Frederik Andersen against the Czechs.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed Sunday Sogaard (lower body) is not dressed for Sunday's Olympic round-robin game against Latvia.

Impact Sogaard left Denmark's last game midway through the third period while facing a heavy workload against Team USA. The 25-year-old likely wouldn't have started Sunday anyway -- Frederik Andersen is expected to start against Latvia -- but, it's notable that he's not even dressed for the contest. It remains to be seen whether this injury will affect his availability coming out of the Olympic break with the Senators.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers undisclosed injury Sogaard left midway through the third period of Denmark's 6-3 loss to Team USA on Saturday at the 2026 Olympics due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Sogaard stopped 32 of 37 shots before he was forced to leave the match. Frederik Dichow entered the game and allowed America's sixth goal. It remains to be seen if Sogaard will be an option for Denmark versus Latvia on Sunday. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Frederik Andersen got the start Sunday regardless of Sogaard's availability. Andersen got Saturday's game off after being in net for Thursday's 3-1 loss to Germany.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine Saturday Sogaard will defend the crease for Denmark against the United States on Saturday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Sogaard will make his Olympic debut after Frederik Andersen played in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Germany. The 25-year-old Sogaard has spent most of the 2025-26 season with AHL Belleville, where he has posted a 4-8-4 record with a 3.30 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 18 appearances.

Sent down Tuesday Sogaard was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

Impact Sogaard has logged just two games this season, posting a 1-0-0 record, 4.68 GAA and .833 save percentage. Now that Linus Ullmark is back with the team, the 25-year-old Sogaard will likely spend the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, barring any additional goalie injuries in Ottawa.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first win of season Sogaard stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Sogaard made his first start of the season Sunday and looked surprisingly competent, as he was less than five minutes away from posting a shutout until Rasmus Andersson scored with a wrister late in the third period. The 25-year-old isn't expected to see regular playing time any time soon, and now that Linus Ullmark, who operated as the backup Sunday, is back with the team, Sogaard should return to AHL Belleville. This means Ullmark should return to the No. 1 role with James Reimer as his backup.

Halliday, Cozens each score twice in Senators' 7-1 romp over road-weary Golden Knights

Stephen Halliday had two goals and an assist, Dylan Cozens also scored twice and the Ottawa Senators routed the road-weary Vegas Golden Knights 7-1 on Sunday night

JANUARY 26 • Associated Press

Up and starting Sogaard will start Sunday's game against the Golden Knights, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Sogaard was brought up from the minors Saturday to serve as insurance behind James Reimer. With the team on the second of a back-to-back, it will be his net to defend on Sunday. The 25-year-old has appeared in one game this season, stopping 11 of 16 shots he faced against the Avalanche on Jan 8. He'll face a Golden Knights squad also on the second of a back-to-back.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from minors Sogaard was recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.

Impact According to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia, Sogaard's return to the NHL roster will provide Ottawa with some weather insurance between the pipes, with the team set to host Carolina on Saturday and Vegas on Sunday. In his lone NHL appearance this season, Sogaard allowed five goals on 16 shots in an 8-2 loss to Colorado on Jan. 8.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to AHL Sogaard was returned to AHL Belleville on Saturday.

Impact The Senators recalled Hunter Shepard in a corresponding move. Sogaard came on in relief of Leevi Merilainen in Colorado on Thursday and gave up five goals on 16 shots (.688 save percentage). The performance has been his only NHL appearance this season.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in relief outing Sogaard allowed five goals on 16 shots in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Sogaard relieved Leevi Merilainen during the second period. While Sogaard isn't on the hook for the loss in this outing, his awful performance was what put the game out of reach for the Senators. Merilainen ultimately returned to the crease for the third period. Sogaard's standing within the Senators' organization has been dropping over the years, and the 25-year-old may be shipped back to AHL Belleville due to this outing, though Hunter Shepard isn't much of an upgrade for the backup role. The Senators' next game is Saturday in a tough matchup versus the Panthers.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Tuesday Sogaard was elevated from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

Impact With the Senators heading into a back-to-back versus the Mammoth and Avalanche on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, Sogaard figures to make his first NHL start of the 2025-26 campaign. In two regular-season appearances last year, the 25-year-old backstop went 1-1-0 with a 5.22 GAA and .800 save percentage.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Earns shutout in AHL play Sogaard posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Belleville's 7-0 win over Utica on Sunday.

Impact Sogaard had a fantastic performance, but he also received plenty of support from his offense. This was his first shutout of the campaign and the third of his AHL career. For the season, the netminder is at a 2-6-3 record with a 3.47 GAA and an .885 save percentage. Sogaard could be in line for a call-up to the Senators while Linus Ullmark (personal) is on a leave from the team, though veteran AHL netminder Hunter Shepard has been a little better for Belleville this season and is also on a two-way deal.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to return Sogaard (undisclosed) has been given the green light to suit up for AHL Belleville, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Tuesday.

Impact Sogaard's return provides the Sens with some organizational depth, but he is unlikely to be promoted to the NHL any time soon. In his three appearances for Belleville this year, the 24-year-old Sogaard has posted a 0-1-1 record, 3.80 GAA and .830 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with undisclosed injury Sogaard is being re-evaluated for an undisclosed injury suffered against AHL Toronto on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Sogaard was involved in a collision in the net after playing just 3:45 of ice time in Sunday's contest. With Hunter Shepard recalled to Ottawa, the organization's goalie depth could be limited if Sogaard is forced to miss significant time. Still, for fantasy managers, the netminder's absence shouldn't be a big factor, as he is unlikely to see much in the way of NHL starts even once healthy.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Thursday Sogaard was loaned to AHL Belleville on Thursday.

Impact Sogaard was called up by Ottawa on Sunday, but he didn't appear in a game during his stint with the NHL club. He'll head back to the minors after Leevi Merilainen was recalled Thursday.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Sogaard was recalled from AHL Belleville on Sunday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Ottawa assigned Leevi Merilainen to the minors. Sogaard has posted a record of 0-1-1 with a 2.94 GAA and an .864 save percentage in two AHL appearances this season. During his time with the big club, he will occupy the backup role behind Linus Ullmark.
