Mads Sogaard News

Sogaard won his first start of the season after stopping 34 of 37 shots (.919 SV%) in a victory over Calgary his last time out. He'll face the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost three straight games and are not much of an offensive threat as they are currently last in the NHL in goals per game (2.4) and second last in shots (26.7).

Sogaard stopped all three of three shots he faced in his first career NHL appearance, a relief effort Saturday vs. Edmonton. The 22-year-old is making his first career start on Monday after posting a 6-9-2 record with the Belleville Senators (AHL). He takes on the Calgary Flames, who beat Buffalo 7-2 in their last game and are 2nd in the NHL in shots per game (35.5).

Sogaard is 6-9-2 with a 3.30 GAA and .898 SV% through 21 games with the Belleville Senators (AHL) and has been recalled by Ottawa Thursday. He will backup Anton Forsberg while Cam Talbot is on the mend.

Sogaard has a 5-9-1 record, .901 SV% and 3.21 GAA in Belleville (AHL) and has been recalled for the first time this season to Ottawa. The 22-year-old previously played in two games in the NHL in 2021-22, posting a 1-1-0 record, 3.07 GAA and .889 SV%. He was a 2019 2nd-round pick (37th overall).
