The Senators sent Hogberg to AHL Belleville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Craig Anderson (lower body) returned to action Wednesday against the Oilers, so the Senators are no longer in need of Hogberg's services. The 25-year-old netminder will return to his role as Belleville's starter, where he's posted a 6-6-0 record while registering a 3.21 GAA and .892 save percentage in 14 appearances this season.

Hogberg let in one goal on 14 shots in relief of Anders Nilsson during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

By the time Hogberg entered the contest, the Canucks had already scored enough to win. Hogberg has allowed three goals on 40 shots over five periods of action at the NHL level this season. With Craig Anderson (lower body) expected to return Wednesday versus the Oilers, Hogberg will likely be reassigned to AHL Belleville in the near future.

Hogberg turned aside 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Calgary's final goal was scored into an empty net. Making his first start of the season for Ottawa, Hogberg got beaten twice on shots from point-blank range after some shaky defending by the Sens, but otherwise kept his team in the game. Anders Nilsson was having a solid November until coughing up seven goals in his last start, but Hogberg's performance might encourage coach D.J. Smith to turn to him a little more often, at least until Craig Anderson (lower body) gets healthy.

Hogberg will be between the pipes for Saturday's road matchup with the Flames, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg is still looking for his first NHL win, having gone 0-2-1 in four appearances a year ago. This season, Hogberg has yet to appear in a game at the top level. The 25-year-old has been dealt a favorable matchup considering Calgary is scoring just 2.39 goals per game, second to last in the NHL.

Hogberg was recalled from AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

Hogberg signed a two-year contract extension with the Senators on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The first year of Hogberg's extension is two-way, but the second year of his new deal is one-way, which suggests the Senators believe he might be ready for backup duties behind Anders Nilsson in 2020-21. However, the 24-year-old Swede will likely spend the entirety of the upcoming campaign continuing to fine tune his craft with AHL Belleville.

Hogberg was demoted to AHL Belleville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Barring additional injuries, the 23-year-old Hogberg figures to spend the rest of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors, where he has a 3-3-0 record and .916 save percentage.

Hogberg gave up three goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Anders Nilsson early in the second period during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Nilsson didn't fare a whole lot better, stopping 11 of 13 shots the rest of the way and taking the loss, but it's still the fourth straight start in which Hogberg has allowed at least three goals. The 24-year-old now has a 4.09 GAA and .884 save percentage to begin his NHL career, and it seems likely he'll be sent back down to AHL Belleville once Craig Anderson (concussion) gets healthy.
