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

Marcus Hogberg: Returning to Sweden
Rotowire
Hogberg inked a four-year contract with Linkoping HC (Sweden) on Thursday.
Given the length of Hogberg's contract, it seems unlikely the 26-year-old netminder will return to the NHL at any point. He appeared in 42 games for the Senators over three years, posting a 9-17-9 record, .894 save percentage and 3.39 GAA.

Marcus Hogberg: Won't receive qualifying offer
Rotowire
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.
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.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Cruises to win over Canucks
Rotowire
Hogberg turned aside 19 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
The Sens built a 3-0 lead early in the second period and Hogberg never let Vancouver get within a goal as he picked up his second straight win and fifth of the season. Despite the recent success, the 26-year-old netminder is still saddled with a rough 3.74 GAA and .876 save percentage through 14 appearances, but with Matt Murray (lower body) sidelined, the No. 1 job in Ottawa belongs to Hogberg by default,

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Sharp in Monday's win
Rotowire
Hogberg stopped 25 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
Rookie defenseman Olli Juolevi got a puck past him late in the first period, but otherwise Hogberg had Vancouver's number in this one. The netminder recorded his first win since Feb. 15, and while he was little used in between those victories, Hogberg suddenly sits at the top of Ottawa's depth chart with Matt Murray (lower body) and Anton Forsberg (lower body) both on the mend. Through 13 appearances this season, Hogberg carries a poor 3.82 GAA and .877 save percentage.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Starting Monday's game
Rotowire
Hogberg is working in the starter's crease at Monday's morning skate, suggesting he'll be in net against the Canucks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Matt Murray and Anton Forsberg both suffered lower-body injuries over the weekend, leaving Hogberg as the top healthy option in Ottawa's crease. Filip Gustavsson was called up from AHL Belleville and will work as Hogberg's backup against a Canucks team that has gone 3-1-0 since returning from an extended COVID-19 layoff, including a split with the Senators.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Takes loss in relief outing
Rotowire
Hogberg gave up two goals on 20 shots in relief of Matt Murray (lower body) in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
Hogberg was forced to come into the game after Murray was hurt in the second period. The 26-year-old Hogberg immediately surrendered a power-play goal to Brock Boeser, and Tanner Pearson added the decisive tally in the third period. Through 12 appearances, Hogberg has a 2-7-0 record with a 4.14 GAA and an .869 save percentage in 12 appearances. With Anton Forsberg (lower body) also out Saturday, Hogberg's the only healthy goalie on the Senators roster -- they'll likely need to recall a netminder before facing the Canucks again Monday.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Performs well in return
Rotowire
Hogberg turned aside 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
The 26-year-old was making his first start since suffering a lower-body injury Feb. 18. He allowed three highly-skilled goals to the all-world duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl -- and he benefitted from three Edmonton goal posts -- but overall performed admirably in his return to action. Hogberg is 2-6-0 in 11 games (eight starts) this season with a 4.19 GAA and .866 save percentage.

Hogberg (lower body) is on the ice for Tuesday's practice.

Rotowire
According to general manager Pierre Dorion, Hogberg (lower body) could head to AHL Belleville by the end of March for a conditioning stint, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Hogberg's been skating on his own recently, but it sounds like he'll likely head to the minors to get back into playing shape rather than being thrust directly into NHL action once healthy. The 26-year-old netminder has gone 2-5-0 while posting an ugly 4.34 GAA and .859 save percentage through 10 top-level appearances this season.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Resumes skating
Rotowire
Hogberg (lower body) has been on the ice but his return isn't imminent, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Officially, there's no timetable for Hogberg's return. He was given a 1-2 week schedule on Feb. 20, but he's been out for nearly a month. The Senators are down to their fourth-string goalie, Filip Gustavsson, after Joey Daccord (leg) left Wednesday's game versus the Canucks. Matt Murray (upper body) is also out, and he has not resumed skating. Hogberg would likely take on a starting role if he's the first of the injured goalies to return.

Senators' Marcus Hogberg: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Hogberg (lower body) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Hogberg was injured while making a save in the first period of Thursday's game in Toronto. While he hasn't been officially ruled out yet, it doesn't look good for Hogberg to dress for Sunday's game. If he can't play, Matt Murray will likely start, while Joey Daccord would be in line to serve as the backup.
