ANTON FORSBERG NEWS

Allows trio of power-play tallies Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact A goalie needs to be his team's best penalty killer, and Forsberg wasn't able to live up to that standard Wednesday. All three of the Kraken's goals came on their power plays, including one that was a result of a tripping penalty by Forsberg himself that led to the tying tally. He's down to 4-2-3 on the year with a 2.72 GAA and an .896 save percentage over nine appearances. Forsberg will continue handle backup duties behind Darcy Kuemper. The Kings' next back-to-back is a week away, so he shouldn't have to wait any more than three games for his next start.

Impact Forsberg will be making his seventh appearance in the crease, having gone 3-22-1 with a 2.96 GAA and one shutout in his last six outings. With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, the team will let Darcy Kuemper skip the trip to San Jose, which means Pheonix Copley will serve as the No. 2 option versus the Sharks.

Forsberg is now 2-2-1 on the year with a 3.54 GAA and an .878 save percentage. The Kings have struggled on the whole, and they're not getting a lot of help from the backup netminder to provide steady play.

Wins in Chicago Forsberg stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Forsberg had his best outing of the season while playing in the second half of a back-to-back set. Connor Bedard had the lone goal against him at 7:04 of the first period, but Forsberg and the Kings' defense combined to keep things locked down from there. Through four outings, he is 2-1-1 with 13 goals allowed on 123 shots. He's had some bumpy moments to start the season, but with Darcy Kuemper healthy again, Forsberg should be able to settle into the backup role and produce numbers worthy of being a streaming option in fantasy. The Kings' next game is Tuesday in San Jose.

Between pipes in Chicago Forsberg will patrol the road blue paint Sunday versus the Blackhawks, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Forsberg will make his fourth start of the season Sunday, as he's posted a 1-1-1 record, 3.89 GAA and .880 save percentage through his first three appearances. The Blackhawks have played well lately, scoring 18 goals over their last five games, a span in which they are 4-0-1. The 32-year-old Forsberg is 1-1-1 with one shutout, a 3.32 GAA and an .841 save percentage over three career appearances against Chicago.

Struggles early, loses in overtime Forsberg stopped 36 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Forsberg dropped to 1-1-1 on the year. The 32-year-old was tagged for two goals by Jordan Staal in the first four minutes, but the Kings were able to claw back, only for Seth Jarvis to seal the Hurricanes' win in overtime. With 12 goals allowed on 100 shots over three games, Forsberg's performance has been poor behind a shakier-than-usual defense. The Swede will handle No. 1 duties between the pipes until Darcy Kuemper (lower body) returns. Kuemper's status for a five-game road trip that begins in St. Louis on Tuesday has yet to be announced, so Forsberg could be in for a busy week as the Sharks play five games in a span of eight days.
