Wolves made the early running and Adam Legzdins had to push away a Jamie O'Hara half-volley from the edge of the area in the fourth minute.
Jamie Ward was looking to score for a fifth consecutive league game and he drilled a shot wide from distance before sending a free kick straight at keeper Carl Ikeme.
Just before the half-hour, Kieron Freeman combined well with Paul Coutts on the right before delivering a low cross which Ward flicked goalwards, only for Danny Batth to make a timely block.
Craig Bryson headed at Ikeme from Hoganson's centre as the Rams turned up the pressure.
But at the other end, O'Hara had Legzdins scrambling across his goal with an effort that bounced just wide after the midfielder latched onto a headed clearance from Richard Keogh.
