Goaltender Marcus Hogberg was recalled from the Bridgeport Islanders on emergency conditions, the New York Islanders announced on Monday morning.
The team also announced that Ilya Sorokin is dealing with a small nagging issue and the plan is for the goaltender to get an extended rest with the NHL going on a holiday break from Dec. 24-26. That means Sorokin will not play on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils, but is expected back after the holiday break.
Sorokin is 12-10-2 this season with a 2.55 GAA, a .910 SV% and three shutouts.
Hogberg went 2-6-3 with the Islanders in 15 games last season, posting a 3.38 GAA and a .878 SV%. Hogberg is 5-7-3 this season with the Bridgeport Islanders with a 3.08 GAA and an .881 SV%.
