Hogberg allowed five goals on 22 shots after replacing Matt Murray in the Senators loss in Edmonton on Sunday. Hogberg has struggled mightily this season, allowing five goals in all three of his appearances so far, posting a 4.71 GAA and .845 SV% overall.
The Islanders will shuffle some players around after losing four straight games. Wahlstrom, Leo Komarov and Kieffer Bellows will go to the taxi squad with Austin Czarnik, Dmytro Timashov and Ilya Sorokin coming up.
It looks like Mikhail Maltsev will make his NHL debut on Sunday, replacing Palmieri in the lineup. The Devils did not mention any injury news, so Palmieri may be a healthy scratch.
Varlamov was yanked after allowing five goals on 22 shots in the Islanders loss in Washington on Thursday. The Islanders took an early 3-0 lead and looked to have things in hand but it got away from them in the second period, handing Varlamov his second straight defeat. After a red-hot start to the season, Varlamov is now 3-2-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .936 SV% through five starts.
Pulock missed Friday's practice with a leg injury that he seemingly suffered late in Thursday's game in Washington. Head coach Barry Trotz called him a game-time decision for Saturday but also added that he expects him to play.
Varlamov stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Islanders' win over the Devils last Thursday. With Ilya Sorokin struggling again on Sunday, Varlamov is likely to start for the fourth time in six games on Tuesday. He's been the best goalie in the NHL through three starts, going 3-0-0 with a 0.33 GAA, .988 SV% and two shutouts.

Varlamov stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Islanders' shutout win over the Rangers on opening night. He was scheduled to start Saturday's rematch but was scratched after getting hit in the face in warmups. Luckily the injury was not serious and he'll be back between the pipes tonight vs. a Bruins offence that has been relatively quiet through their first two games.
Varlamov was scheduled to start Saturday but took a puck up high in warmups and ended up not playing. Head coach Barry Trotz said that both Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin are available to start on Monday but did not name a starter. We will get confirmation once warmups start at 4:30 PM ET.
