Marcus Hogberg - NHL News & Rumors

Sent down Friday Hogberg was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Ilya Sorokin (lower body) was activated from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Hogberg allowed two goals on seven shots in a relief appearance versus the Mammoth on Thursday, which was his lone outing during this stint with the big club. Hogberg is the next man up should another injury sideline Sorokin or David Rittich later in the season.

Needed in relief Thursday Hogberg turned aside five of seven shots after replacing David Rittich early in the third period of Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact It was a rough afternoon for the Islanders as a whole, but Hogberg didn't look great on the first puck to get past him, a Dylan Guenther shot that trickled through the netminder's five-hole. It was Hogberg's first action since he was called up from AHL Bridgeport last weekend, but Rittich's shakier outing could open the door for his backup to get the start Saturday against the Maple Leafs. Through 14 AHL outings this season, Hogberg has a 3.08 GAA and .881 save percentage.

Recalled from AHL Hogberg was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Islanders are not expected to have Ilya Sorokin (nagging issue) ready to play against the Rangers on Saturday. It's likely that David Rittich will get the start with Hogberg as his backup. Hogberg was 5-7-2 with a 3.08 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 14 AHL games before his recall.

Returns to minors Hogberg has been returned to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per the AHL transactions page.

Impact Hogberg was summoned by the Islanders on Monday under emergency conditions due to the absence of Ilya Sorokin (undisclosed). The Islanders won't play again until Saturday, so New York still has the option to recall a goaltender if Sorokin isn't ready to return in time for that game. Hogberg hasn't appeared in an NHL game this season. He has a 3.08 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 14 outings with Bridgeport.

Isles Day-to-Day: Hogberg Recalled, Sorokin to Miss Tuesday's Game vs Devils | New York Islanders Marcus Hogberg recalled on emergency conditions, Ilya Sorokin to miss Tuesday's game to get extended rest ahead of holiday break

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • NHL.COM

Summoned from AHL Hogberg was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Monday under emergency conditions.

Impact Ilya Sorokin (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's home game against New Jersey, but he should return to the fold when the Islanders host the Rangers on Saturday. As a result of Sorokin's absence, Hogberg will probably serve as David Rittich's backup in Tuesday's matchup versus the Devils.

Records shutout in AHL Hogberg posted a 33-save shutout in AHL Bridgeport's 3-0 win over Hartford on Friday.

Impact Bridgeport was on the attack early, and Hogberg made sure that lead never faded. This was his first AHL shutout since the 2018-19 season -- he didn't have one in 11 appearances with Bridgeport last year in his return to North America after a stint in his native Sweden. Hogberg is currently third on the Islanders' depth chart behind NHL goalies Ilya Sorokin and David Rittich, and he could slip to fourth once Semyon Varlamov (knee) can play again.

Hogberg & Highmore Clear Waivers; Rocky Thompson, Bridgeport Islanders Win First Preseason Game Goaltender Marcus Hogberg and forward Matthew Highmore have cleared NHL waivers and will report to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Hits waiver wire Tuesday Hogberg was waived by the Islanders on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact This move indicates that David Rittich will begin the 2025-26 campaign as the backup to Ilya Sorokin, as Semyon Varlamov (knee) has no timeline for a return. If Hogberg goes unclaimed on the waiver wire, he will head to AHL Bridgeport, where he went 2-5-3 with an .898 save percentage and a 3.26 GAA across 11 appearances last season.

Gets starting nod Tuesday Hogberg will be between the pipes versus the Devils in Tuesday's road preseason contest, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hogberg faces an uphill battle trying to unseat David Rittich as the No. 2 option behind Ilya Sorokin this season. The 30-year-old Hogberg's chances of appearing in an NHL game in 2025-26 will be even further diminished if Semyon Varlamov (knee) is cleared to continue playing. As such, Hogberg's time in training camp is likely to come to an end sooner rather than later.

Ends season with loss Hogberg turned aside 20 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder kept Columbus off the board in the first period, but things fell apart for the Islanders over the final 40 minutes of their season. Hogberg had a rough conclusion to his campaign, coughing up six or more goals in three of his last four starts, and his last win came back on Jan. 18 -- he went 0-4-3 over his last nine outings with a 4.60 GAA and .833 save percentage. Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov (lower body) are both under contract for 2025-26, but even if the latter's health remains in question, the Isles may look for an upgrade on Hogberg this offseason as their No. 3 goalie.

Tending twine in Columbus Hogberg will defend the road crease against Columbus on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Hogberg has seen sporadic playing time for most of the season, but he's failed to pick up a win over seven appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off. During that time, he's gone 0-3-3 with a 4.82 GAA and .829 save percentage. He'll draw the start in Thursday's regular-season finale and will face a tough test, as the Blue Jackets are tied for eighth in the NHL with 3.22 goals per game this year. However, Columbus was eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday night, so it's possible the team rests a few players Thursday.

Winless since January Hogberg made 19 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers on Saturday.

Impact Hogberg was much better Saturday than he was Thursday when he allowed eight goals against the Rangers. He allowed just one goal in the shootout (five rounds). Hogberg hasn't won since Jan. 18 (0-3-3 in six starts/eight appearances). He's a journeyman, 30-year-old netminder with just 45 starts (11-22-12) under his belt. Hogberg isn't a fantasy option now, and he won't be in the future.

Starting Saturday Hogberg will get the starting nod on the road Saturday against the Flyers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact With Ilya Sorokin (upper body) sidelined, Hogberg will have a chance to bounce back after he was tagged for eight goals in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday. The 30-year-old Hogberg has made 13 appearances for the Islanders this year, going 2-5-2 with an .889 save percentage.

Panarin, Berard each score twice in the Rangers' 9-2 romp over the Islanders

Artemi Panarin and Brett Berard each scored twice and the New York Rangers trounced the New York Islanders 9-2 on Thursday night for their third straight victory

First goalie off Hogberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus the Rangers.

Impact Hogberg has gone six games without registering a win, posting a 0-2-2 record, 3.89 GAA and .864 save percentage in those contests. With Ilya Sorokin (upper body) dealing with an injury, the Isles may have to turn the reins over to Hogberg for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loses in relief appearance Hogberg conceded three goals on nine shots after coming on in relief for Ilya Sorokin (upper body) in the third period of Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.

Impact New York was leading 6-4 late in the third period, but the Predators were able to score twice, once on the power play, in the final 2:07 to send the game to overtime. Hogberg was 0-2-1 with a 3.98 GAA and an .866 save percentage across his last four outings prior to Tuesday, so it wasn't exactly ideal that he had to come in cold in a matchup that finished with 13 total goals. Since the Islanders are effectively eliminated from postseason contention, the team may choose to be cautious with Sorokin, so Hogberg could conclude the season as the club's No. 1 netminder.
