  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: 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.

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Starting in Anaheim

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Activated from IR

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Labeled day-to-day

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Won't return before 4 Nations break

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

    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).

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Placed on injured reserve

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Suffers upper-body injury

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Starting Saturday

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Playing at high level in January

    Hogberg made 18 saves on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over San Jose.

    Hogberg conceded a weak goal to Barclay Goodrow midway through the second period, but that was all that got past the Swede on 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. He has earned 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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Between pipes for Saturday

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: 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.

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Facing former team Tuesday

    Hogberg will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus Ottawa, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Hogberg was solid in his last start, stopping 21 of 22 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over Utah. The 30-year-old will face the team he was drafted by in 2013 -- Hogberg spent the first three years of his NHL career with the Sens. Ottawa is tied for 20th in the NHL with 2.90 goals per game.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Steady in win over Utah

    Hogberg allowed one goal on 22 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over Utah.

    Hogberg can't really be faulted for the goal against, as it was a tipped-in shot off the stick of Nick Schmaltz. The 30-year-old Hogberg has allowed four goals on 80 shots over four appearances (two starts) at the NHL level this year. He started Saturday because Ilya Sorokin (illness) was unavailable, and Hogberg would likely continue to see playing time should Sorokin not be healthy in time for Tuesday's home game versus the Senators.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Facing Utah

    Hogberg will be between the pipes in Utah on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Hogberg will get a rare start as Ilya Sorokin (illness) has started 14 of the Islanders' last 15 games. Hogberg is 0-1-0 this season, allowing three goals on 58 shots. Utah is 24th in the NHL, averaging 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Loses in first start of season

    Hogberg gave up three goals on 41 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Making his first start at the NHL level since April 2021, Hogberg gave up goals in the opening seven minutes of each period and was tagged with the loss. He's made three appearances this season, though the previous two came in relief where he stopped a total of 17 shots without giving up a goal, so there's not much of a sample to see what he might bring to the table as a backup. That said, the fact that he made 38 saves is something that can't be overlooked easily. He's likely to remain the backup to Ilya Sorokin as long as Semyon Varlamov (lower body) remains on long-term injured reserve.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Defending crease Sunday

    Hogberg will guard the road goal against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Hogberg will get the second half of the Islanders' back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin played in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins. Hogberg's last NHL start came against Vancouver on April 28, 2021, when he was a member of the Senators. The 30-year-old netminder has a 9-17-9 record with a 3.34 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 44 NHL regular-season appearances. Pittsburgh ranks 15th in the league with 3.08 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Needed in relief Tuesday

    Hogberg stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Ilya Sorokin to begin the third period of Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes.

    It's the second time in seven games since his promotion at the beginning of the month that Hogberg has been called upon to spell Sorokin, and the backup goalie has turned aside all 17 shots sent his way in those appearances. The Islanders are off until Saturday when they head to Toronto, but Semyon Varlamov (lower body) isn't expected to rejoin the team until the following week. Sorokin will likely get the nod for that contest, but if coach Patrick Roy decided to give him an extended rest, Hogberg would be in line for his first start of the season.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Makes 11 saves in relief appearance

    Hogberg stopped all 11 shots he faced in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Hogberg took over for Ilya Sorokin at the start of the third period and kept the game from getting any worse. The Kraken's fifth goal was an empty-netter scored after head coach Patrick Roy pulled Hogberg early for an extra attacker. This was Hogberg's first NHL action since he logged 14 games with the Senators in 2020-21, and he'll likely head back to AHL Bridgeport once Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is given the all-clear to play.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Recalled on emergency basis

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Sent down Monday

    Hogberg was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

    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.
