MARCUS HOGBERG NEWS

Needed in relief Wednesday Hogberg stopped all five shots he faced after replacing Ilya Sorokin early in the third period of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Coach Patrick Roy made the desperation switch in the crease after the Islanders fell behind 4-2, but the move didn't pay off. Hogberg has made three appearances (two starts) in nine games since coming off IR in early March, allowing seven goals on 67 shots while going 0-1-1. With New York leaning heavily on Sorokin while fighting for a playoff spot, Hogberg may not get many opportunities between the pipes over the final weeks of the season.

Left hanging in overtime Hogberg conceded four goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Hogberg faced his second-largest workload of the season in an entertaining matchup between two teams battling to make the postseason. The Swedish netminder was left to fend for himself on the winning goal -- Nazem Kadri was left uncontested when he ripped a shot past Hogberg from the left circle to pull off the comeback win. Hogberg is 2-3-1 through nine appearances in 2024-25 but has posted a solid .930 save percentage and 1.99 GAA. Ilya Sorokin will likely be between the pipes Monday versus Columbus.

Get starting nod against Flames Hogberg will be between the pipes for Saturday's home clash with Calgary, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hogberg will be making just his second appearance in the case for the Isles over their last 21 contests while Ilya Sorokin saw a heavy workload. In that lone outing, the 30-year-old Hogberg stopped 24 of 27 shots (.889 save percentage) in a losing effort against the Ducks on March 9. As long as New York is in the hunt for a playoff spot, fantasy players should expect to see a heavy dose of Sorokin the rest of the way -- making Hogberg a relative non-factor the rest of the way.

Loses in return from injury Hogberg stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The empty-netter came in the first half of the third period, as head coach Patrick Roy was aggressive in pulling Hogberg with the Islanders down three goals. This was Hogberg's first action since Jan. 25 versus the Hurricanes, when he sustained an upper-body injury that kept him out for 14 games. The 30-year-old netminder is at 2-3-0 with a 1.70 GAA and a .938 save percentage over eight appearances. Now that he's healthy, he can lighten the load of Ilya Sorokin, but don't expect Hogberg to see much action as long as the Islanders are mathematically still in the playoff race. They are four points adrift of a wild-card spot with five teams to pass to claim it, so the odds are not in their favor. The Islanders' road trip through California ends with Tuesday's game in Los Angeles.

Impact Hogberg was activated from injured reserve Sunday and will make his first start since Jan. 25 after missing 14 games with an upper-body injury. The Islanders are on the second half of a back-to-back after defeating the Sharks 4-2 on Saturday, while the Ducks last played Friday, a 4-3 home loss to St. Louis.

Activated from IR Hogberg (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Hogberg's removal from the IR list paves the way for him to return to the lineup against Anaheim on Sunday after a 14-game absence. He has a 2-2-0 record with a 1.45 GAA and a .947 save percentage in seven appearances with the Islanders this season.

Labeled day-to-day Hogberg (upper body) is considered day-to-day, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Saturday.

Impact Jakub Skarek has filled in as backup to Ilya Sorokin during Hogberg's absence, which dates back to Jan. 25 when he sustained an injury in a game against the Hurricanes. It looks like Hogberg will be able to return before the end of the season, which is better than the situation with Semyon Varlamov (lower body), who is likely done for the year.

Won't return before 4 Nations break Hogberg (upper body) will have his status assessed after the 4 Nations Face-Off, GM Lou Lamoriello announced Saturday.

Impact That rules Hogberg out for the five games the Islanders will play from Feb. 1-8. The team's first game back from the break will occur Feb. 23 versus Dallas. Jakub Skarek is serving as the backup goaltender behind Ilya Sorokin due to the absence of Hogberg and Semyon Varlamov (lower body).

Placed on injured reserve Hogberg (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Monday.

Impact Based on his retroactive placement date (Jan. 25), Hogberg can be expected to miss at least the next three games for the Islanders, though it could certainly be longer. With Semyon Varlamov (lower body) still on the shelf, the team called up Jakub Skarek to serve as the No. 2 option behind Ilya Sorokin for the time being. It's a disappointing blow for the 30-year-old Hogberg, as he has managed decent numbers in his seven NHL appearances, going 2-2-0 with a 1.45 GAA and .947 save percentage.

Suffers upper-body injury Hogberg sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Head coach Patrick Roy described the injury as something that got progressively worse in the third period. The 30-year-old stopped 24 of 26 shots in the contest but won't get a result, as the Islanders won 3-2 in overtime after Ilya Sorokin took over between the pipes. If Hogberg misses additional time, the Islanders will likely be forced to make a move unless Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is cleared to play.

Starting Saturday Hogberg will patrol the home crease versus Carolina on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hogberg has been sensational for the Islanders in limited action. He is only 2-2-0, but has a microscopic 1.32 GAA and an outstanding .952 save percentage over six appearances. The Hurricanes are averaging 3.37 goals per game, fifth in the NHL this season.

Playing at high level in January Hogberg made 18 saves on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over San Jose.

Impact Hogberg conceded a weak goal to Barclay Goodrow midway through the second period, but that was all that would get past him Saturday. Hogberg has allowed exactly one marker in three consecutive games, posting a 2-1-0 record, .955 save percentage and 1.01 GAA in that span. The Swedish netminder has earned himself a larger share of the crease lately due to Semyon Varlamov (lower body) remaining without a timetable to return. The 30-year-old Hogberg owns a 2-2-0 record, .952 save percentage and 1.32 GAA through six appearances in 2024-25.

Between pipes for Saturday Hogberg will tend the twine at home against the Sharks on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Hogberg has conceded just one goal in each of his last two appearances while stopping 46 shots (.958 save percentage). Given his solid numbers of late, another high-end performance out of the 30-year-old backstop Saturday could see him challenge Ilya Sorokin for more opportunities between the crease.

Out-dueled in Tuesday's loss Hogberg turned aside 25 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Senators, with Ottawa's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder made his NHL debut with Ottawa in 2018-19 and did his best to deliver a revenge game against his former organization, but Adam Gaudette tipped a point shot past Hogberg in the second period, and it was all the offense Leevi Merilainen would need in the other crease. Hogberg has started two straight games while Ilya Sorokin dealt with an illness and played well, allowing only two goals on 48 shots, but Sorokin figures to reclaim the No. 1 job as soon as he's deemed fit. Semyon Varlamov (lower body) has no timeline for his return from LTIR however, and Hogberg's recent performances might earn him more consistent work as Sorokin's backup.
