Hogberg was recalled by the Islanders on an emergency basis Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Semyon Varlamov is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Hogberg will join the NHL club to serve as the backup to Ilya Sorokin during Thursday's home game against the Kraken. Hogberg could be in the mix to draw a start over the weekend if Varlamov isn't back to full health, as the Islanders have a back-to-back set with a home game against Carolina on Saturday followed by a road matchup against Ottawa on Sunday. Hogberg hasn't appeared in the NHL since the 2020-21 campaign, when he posted a 4-7-0 record, 3.74 GAA and .876 save percentage over 14 appearances with the Senators.

Hogberg was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg's stint with the big club was brief, as Semyon Varlamov appears to have moved past his lower-body injury. Hogberg hasn't made an appearance in the NHL since the 2020-21 campaign with Ottawa.

Hogberg was recalled by the Islanders on an emergency basis for Monday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg was sent to the AHL ahead of the regular season, and he's posted a 2-4-3 record, 2.97 GAA and .908 save percentage over 10 appearances with Bridgeport to begin the year. He'll provide goaltending depth for the Islanders since Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is considered day-to-day.

Hogberg was waived by the Islanders on Sunday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg appeared in two preseason contests for New York -- he posted a .929 save percentage and a 2.02 GAA in 44:35 of ice time. The Swedish netminder hitting waivers could be an indication that Ilya Sorokin (back) is healthy ahead of the upcoming campaign. Hogberg's last NHL appearance was in 2020-21 with Ottawa, when he posted a 4-7-0 record, .876 save percentage and 3.74 GAA in 14 regular-season appearances.

Hogberg was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease in Monday's preseason game versus Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg stopped 24 of 25 shots in a 2-0 exhibition loss to the Flyers on Thursday. He could start the 2024-25 season with the Islanders if Ilya Sorokin (back) is unavailable for Opening Night on Oct. 10 against Utah. Still, the 29-year-old Hogberg will compete with Jakub Skarek and Keith Kinkaid, a camp invitee on a professional tryout, for a potential roster spot.

Hogberg will start in goal on the road for a preseason game versus the Flyers on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg will get his second preseason start after allowing two goals on 17 shots versus the Devils in his first game Sunday. The 29-year-old is attempting a North America comeback after spending three years in his native Sweden. Hogberg is likely to begin the year with AHL Bridgeport, though he could win the backup job over Jakub Skarek if Ilya Sorokin (back) is not healthy for Opening Night.

Hogberg will start in net versus the Devils in Sunday's road exhibition contest, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg signed a two-year contract with the Islanders in May -- he'll likely start the season with AHL Bridgeport if Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov are healthy. Hogberg last appeared in the NHL during the 2020-21 season with Ottawa, posting a record of 4-7-0 with an .876 save percentage and a 3.74 GAA in 14 regular-season contests.

Hogberg signed a two-year contract with the Islanders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg had a solid season in the SHL, logging a .914 save percentage and a 2.51 goals against average in 40 appearances. The 29-year-old will look to regain his touch in the NHL after spending three years in the SHL. He will attempt to make the roster come October and could even be the team's backup netminder should Semyon Varlamov or Ilya Sorokin not return to the fold.

Hogberg inked a four-year contract with Linkoping HC (Sweden) on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg first joined Linkoping back in 2010-11 as part of their youth academy, eventually breaking into the senior team for the first time in 2012-13. Given the length of his contract, it seems unlikely the 26-year-old netminder will return to the NHL at any point, which would seem him eventually retire having appeared in 42 games for the Senators over three years in which he posted a 9-17-9 record, .894 save percentage and 3.39 GAA.

Per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Hogberg won't be qualified by the Senators, which means he'll become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

EDGE Analysis

Hogberg hasn't been great in limited action this season, going 4-7-0 while posting a sub-par 3.74 GAA and .876 save percentage in 14 appearances. Matt Murray is locked in as Ottawa's No. 1 netminder, and Filip Gustavsson will likely take over as the Senators' No. 2 option next season, making Hogberg expendable. Nonetheless, Hogberg should still be able to secure a two-way deal with an NHL club for the 2021-22 campaign.
