Set to start Tuesday Forsberg was in the starter's crease ahead of Tuesday's preseason matchup with Toronto at home, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod.

Impact Forsberg figures to have the inside track on the backup job heading into the 2024-25 campaign, with Mads Sogaard a potential challenger. Even if Forsberg does win the No. 2 gig as expected, he is unlikely to see significant work this year behind Linus Ullmark. Fantasy managers can likely expect Forsberg to top out around 30 games played, barring a long-term injury to Ullmark.

Sharp in win No. 15 Forsberg made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder nearly recorded his third shutout of the season, but Pavel Zacha tucked home a power-play tally midway through the third period. Forsberg wraps up the campaign with a 15-12-0 record in 30 outings with a 3.21 GAA and .890 save percentage, his worst ratios since he became an NHL regular in 2017-18. He has one season left on his contract at an affordable $2.75 million however, so Forsberg is likely to be back in Ottawa next season, even if only in a backup role.

Impact Forsberg played well in his last start Thursday versus Tampa Bay, turning aside 24 of 26 shots in regulation before securing a 3-2 win in the shootout. He'll try to end the season with a bang by picking up a win in a tough road matchup with a Boston team that's 24-10-6 at home this year.

Battles to shootout win Forsberg made 24 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact His team got off to a slow start, but Forsberg battled throughout to keep them in the game. He's in the middle of a three-year contract with an AAV of $2.75 million, so he'll be in the hunt for expanded work come summer.

Yanked in first period Forsberg was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact His game had more holes than Swiss cheese. After a four-game winning streak in February, Forsberg has essentially fallen on his face. He's 2-4-0 in his last seven starts, and that span includes two games where he was pulled. Suffice to say Forsberg is a fantasy risk, so deploy him at your own peril.

Impact Claude Giroux scored a shortie just 36 seconds into the game, and Forsberg took care of things from there.

In five March starts, Forsberg has gone 2-3-0 with a 3.37 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Impact Forsberg has had a rough season -- he's 1-4-0 in his last five starts, and he's allowed 21 goals in that span. But it's not on all on Forsberg. The Sens have allowed four or more goals 34 times in just 68 games. You cannot risk him in your blue paint, especially if you are in or close to playoffs.

Forsberg falls to 12-11-0 with an .887 save percentage and 3.39 GAA this season though he'll likely continue to split work with Joonas Korpisalo down the stretch.

Impact Forsberg was sharp in his last start Thursday against the Blue Jackets, stopping 35 of 37 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. He'll try to secure a second straight win in a road matchup with a Carolina team that's averaging 3.40 goals per game at home this year, eighth in the NHL.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Hangs on for shootout win Forsberg stopped 35 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The Senators fell behind 2-0 early in the third period on a power-play tally by Alexander Nylander, but Forsberg got the job done down the stretch against his former club as Ottawa rallied. The 31-year-old netminder eventually got rewarded for his efforts by Claude Giroux's shootout winner. It was Forsberg's first start since Mar. 1 as a result of a lower-body injury, and in seven outings since the All-Star break he's gone 5-2-0 despite a lackluster 2.93 GAA and .897 save percentage.

He has gone 11-10-0 with a 3.29 GAA and an .888 save percentage in a difficult season behind an underwhelming Senators team.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Set for backup duty Forsberg (lower body) is healthy enough to back up Mads Sogaard for Wednesday's game versus the Ducks.

Impact Forsberg was unavailable Saturday versus the Flyers, but having three days off ahead of the start of their California road trip appears to have been enough time to get him healthy. Forsberg should be expected to start Thursday versus the Kings if Joonas Korpisalo (illness) isn't ready to go.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Links up with team Forsberg (lower body) has joined the Senators on the road ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Anaheim, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Neither Forsberg nor Joonas Korpisalo (illness) was with the club for Saturday's road clash with the Flyers, which saw Mads Sogaard get the starting nod. Barring any setbacks, the duo of Forsberg and Korpisalo could split the Senators' back-to-back against the Ducks and Kings on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Forsberg suffered an undisclosed injury Friday in a 5-3 loss to Arizona and did not accompany the team to Philadelphia on Saturday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg saw his record drop to 11-10-0 as the Coyotes halted a 14 game losing streak. Forsberg has a 3.29 GAA and an .888 save percentage. There is no word as to the severity of his injury, so consider him day-to-day at this time.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Downed by Coyotes Forsberg stopped 25 of 29 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to Arizona, with the Coyotes' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Two of the four shots that beat Forsberg came on Arizona power plays, including Dylan Guenther's game-winner early in the third period. Forsberg is 4-2-0 in six starts since returning from a groin injury in mid-February with a 3.15 GAA and .885 save percentage, but despite those underwhelming ratios, the 31-year-old netminder may have to pull double duty this weekend and get another start Saturday against the Flyers with Joonas Korpisalo (illness) potentially unavailable.
