Hogberg will guard the road net in Monday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Chris STevenson of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg notched his first win of the season Saturday as he turned aside 30 of 31 shots against the Jets. That was the first time he finished with better than an .870 save percentage in a game this year. He'll certainly be a risky play Monday, as the Maple Leafs are basically at full health and have averaged 3.53 goals per game.

Hogberg turned aside 30 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough start to the campaign for the 26-year-old netminder, but with Matt Murray (upper body) unavailable, Hogberg came through with his best performance (and first win) of the season, making a number of huge stops to keep the Sens in the game before Brady Tkachuk potted the winner inside the final 10 seconds. The effort shaved more than half a goal off his GAA, but Hogberg still sports a poor 4.23 mark through eight appearances with an .859 save percentage. It's unclear how long Murray might be sidelined, but on the strength of this win, Hogberg will likely remain Ottawa's No. 1 goalie ahead of prospect Filip Gustavsson in the interim.

Hogberg will patrol the crease during Saturday's road matchup with Winnipeg, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg has played poorly in limited action this season, posting an 0-5-0 record while registering an ugly 4.88 GAA and .836 save percentage in seven appearances. The 26-year-old netminder will try to pick up his first win of the campaign in a tough road matchup with a Jets team that's averaging 3.54 goals per game this season, sixth in the NHL.

Hogberg stopped nine of 11 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg relieved injured starter Matt Murray to begin the third period with the Senators already trailing 3-0. The nature of Murray's injury is not yet known, but Hogberg is not a fantasy option even if he's in line to carry the load for any length of time. The 26-year-old is winless in seven appearances with a disastrous 4.88 GAA and .836 save percentage.

Hogberg stopped only 10 of 13 shots before being replaced by Matt Murray early in the second period of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old backup netminder let in a couple of questionable tallies before getting the hook, and he ended up digging a hole the inconsistent Senators offense couldn't climb out of. Hogberg is 0-5-0 with a brutal 4.80 GAA and .837 save percentage through six appearances, and while Murray hasn't been significantly better, Ottawa may decide to look elsewhere for a No. 2 goalie -- perhaps even top prospect Filip Gustavsson, currently on the taxi squad -- if Hogberg can't turn things around soon.

Hogberg will defend the home net in Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg was torched by the Oilers in two games against the team earlier this year, recording an .809 save percentage and a 4.80 GAA. The Oilers rank ninth in the league with 3.54 goals per game. Hogberg is in a tough position as a result, but Edmonton's putrid defense -- they've given up 3.57 goals per game -- provides an opportunity to win in high-scoring fashion.

Hogberg surrendered four goals on 25 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Three of the four goals Hogberg gave up came in the first period. He had a poor start, but he was also better as the game went on. The Swede dropped to 0-4-0 with a 4.54 GAA and an .844 save percentage in five games this year. With such poor numbers, Hogberg hardly has streaming appeal even in deeper formats.

Hogberg will get the starting nod for Tuesday's road game versus Edmonton, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg was shelled in a relief appearance against Edmonton on Sunday to the tune of five goals on 22 shots. The 26-year-old netminder is winless in his four outings this year and may be hard-pressed to secure his first victory of 2020-21 versus Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Hogberg surrendered five goals on 22 shots in relief of Matt Murray in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg was responsible for the game-winning goal by Connor McDavid, so it'll be the 26-year-old goalie who takes the loss and not Murray. This was the fourth appearance of the year for Hogberg, and he's allowed 15 goals on 97 shots so far. Regardless of who protects the visiting net Tuesday in Edmonton, fantasy managers likely won't want Hogberg or Murray in their virtual lineups.

Hogberg surrendered five goals on 35 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Canucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hogberg is consistent -- he's allowed five goals in both of his starts this season. The Senators weren't able to capitalize on a flurry of shots in the first period, and Hogberg didn't do much to keep them in it as the Canucks awoke over the final 40 minutes. The third game of the series in Vancouver is Thursday, and it's expected Matt Murray will get the starting nod for that one.
