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

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg faced his second-largest workload of the season in an entertaining matchup between two teams battling to make the playoffs. The Swedish netminder had 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg will be making just his second appearance in the crease 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 for the remainder of the campaign.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hogberg will be in the road crease Sunday against the Ducks, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

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 in a 4-3 home loss to St. Louis.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hogberg (upper body) will have his status assessed after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Rachel Luscher of the Islanders' official site reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

That rules Hogberg out for at least the next five games, starting with Saturday's road matchup against Tampa Bay. The team's first game back from the break is Feb. 23 versus Dallas. Jakub Skarek is serving as the backup goaltender behind Ilya Sorokin due to the absences of Hogberg and Semyon Varlamov (lower body).

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

EDGE Analysis

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 seven NHL appearances this season, going 2-2-0 with a 1.45 GAA and .947 save percentage.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 generating 3.37 goals per game, fifth in the NHL this season.
