Shortly after being eliminated from the NHL playoffs, the New York Islanders took steps to strengthen their team.
Their head coach, Patrick Roy, is now welcoming a new goaltender, Marcus Hogberg.
This announcement caught everyone by surprise, but it underscores the determination of General Manager Lou Lamoriello to improve the team.
This decision raises questions about the future of the team's current goaltenders, notably Semyon Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin, whose roles have recently changed.
While Hogberg brings experience and skills, it remains to be seen how he will fit into the team.
