2025 Fantasy Outlook
For the first time since 2020-21, Hogberg saw regular NHL action, as he filled in as the Islanders' backup goalie after a knee surgery brought an early end to Semyon Varlamov's season. Hogberg still didn't see much time, posting a 2-6-3 record with a 3.38 GAA and a .878 save percentage. Hogberg's peak is as a backup goalie, and if Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin are both healthy, he's No. 3 on the organizational depth chart for the Islanders. There's also a possibility he gets traded to a team in need of goaltending depth, but his outlook is unlikely to improve regardless of which team he plays for. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract with the Islanders in May of 2024.
Hits waiver wire Tuesday
Hogberg was waived by the Islanders on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This move indicates that David Rittich will begin the 2025-26 campaign as the backup to Ilya Sorokin, as Semyon Varlamov (knee) has no timeline for a return. If Hogberg goes unclaimed on the waiver wire, he will head to AHL Bridgeport, where he went 2-5-3 with an .898 save percentage and a 3.26 GAA across 11 appearances last season.

2013
An injury to Matt Murray resulted in Hogberg seeing 14 games worth of NHL action this past season, far more than anyone could have initially expected. The results weren't promising (4-7-0, 3.74 GAA, .876 save percentage) and Hogberg, not liking the offers he received as an unrestricted free agent, elected to sign a four-year deal with Linkoping in his native Sweden. Never say never, but it's unlikely we see the 26-year-old return to North America at any point in the future.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might not be ready to return
Hogberg, who is dealing with an upper-body injury, hasn't appeared in a practice for the Islanders over the past two days, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Islanders' first game after the 4 Nations Face-Off break will be Sunday versus Dallas, and while he hasn't been ruled out for that matchup, Hogberg's recent absence from practice availability in question. However, New York is expected to hold additional skates before Sunday, so there's still a chance that the 30-year-old goaltender will get some work in. The Islanders are also missing Semyon Varlamov, who is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. If Hogberg and Varlamov are both on the shelf Sunday, then Jakub Skarek will likely serve as Ilya Sorokin's understudy.
