Anton Forsberg - NHL News & Rumors

Unravels in third period Forsberg stopped 19 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Forsberg allowed four of those goals in a span of 7:52 during the third period. The 33-year-old has given up 11 goals on 80 shots over his last three outings, going 0-2-1 in that span. For the season, he's at a 9-8-5 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Kings will likely turn to Darcy Kuemper for Thursday's home game versus the Oilers, but both goalies will need to be sharp as the Kings battle for a playoff spot down the stretch.

First goalie off Wednesday Forsberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.

Impact In his last five outings, Forsberg is 2-1-2 with a 2.31 GAA and .924 save percentage. The Swede figures to serve primarily as the No. 2 option behind Darcy Kuemper the rest of the way, but should still see a decent amount of work even outside of back-to-backs. Look for Kuemper to get the nod at home against Edmonton on Thursday.

Hit hard early in loss Forsberg stopped 18 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact All four goals were surrendered within the first 14 minutes of the game. Forsberg was forced to wear this one, as Darcy Kuemper was in goal for Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. Forsberg is down to 9-7-5 after his first regulation loss in 2026. He's added a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 appearances this season. Forsberg should start one of the first two games after the Olympic break, either Feb. 25 versus Vegas or Feb. 26 versus the Oilers.

Slated to start Thursday Forsberg is expected on the road against Vegas on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

Impact Forsberg has a 9-6-5 record, 2.50 GAA and .910 save percentage in 21 outings with the Kings in 2025-26. He stopped 31 of 34 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to Carolina on Sunday.

Takes overtime loss Forsberg stopped 31 of 34 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Forsberg gave up the first two goals of the game, but the Kings picked him up with a pair of tallies 3:28 apart late in the third period. Sebastian Aho denied Forsberg the win at 1:25 of overtime. Despite the defeat, Forsberg hasn't lost in regulation in his last six outings, allowing just 10 goals on 153 shots in that span. For the season, the 33-year-old netminder has done pretty well with a 9-6-5 record, a 2.50 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 21 contests. He should get another start in a back-to-back before the Olympic break, as the Kings host the Kraken on Wednesday before visiting the Golden Knights on Thursday.

Tending twine Sunday Forsberg will be between the pipes for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Forsberg will get the second half of the Kings' back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Philadelphia. The 33-year-old Forsberg has a 9-6-4 record with a 2.48 GAA, a .910 save percentage and one shutout through 20 appearances this season. Carolina ranks fifth in the league with 3.41 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

Impressive vs. Detroit Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Forsberg has looked impressive in his last two appearances. He allowed one goal in relief in a 4-3 win over the Rangers on Jan. 20 and now allowed just one goal against the Red Wings, earning the win in both contests. He's allowed just two goals on 56 shots faced over that stretch and could continue to see starts here and there. That said, he's not expected to take over the No. 1 role between the pipes from Darcy Kuemper any time soon.

Slated to start in Detroit Forsberg is expected to be between the road pipes against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.

Impact Forsberg is 2-0-1 and has turned aside a combined 81 of 87 shots (.931 save percentage) over his previous three appearances. The veteran netminder will have a tough test against a Detroit team that is 18-8-1 on home ice this season. However, Forsberg has an exceptional track record against the Red Wings during his career, registering a 3-0-1 record, 1.74 GAA and .939 save percentage over four outings.

Relieves injured Kuemper in win Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Forsberg entered the game late in the first period after Kuemper left following some contact in the crease. The 33-year-old Forsberg was excellent over the final two frames, limiting the Rangers to only J.T. Miller's goal with 27 seconds left in the third period. Should Kuemper miss time, Forsberg would resume the No. 1 role as he did for a couple of weeks in December during Kuemper's previous absence. With the win, Forsberg is up to 8-6-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next matchup is Saturday in St. Louis to begin a six-game road trip, so fantasy managers have some time to see how Kuemper's injury situation plays out before rushing to add Forsberg.

Takes overtime loss Saturday Forsberg stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Goal support continues to be a problem -- the Kings have scored a total of eight goals over Forsberg's last four appearances. The 33-year-old netminder is 1-1-1 in that span with nine goals allowed on 88 shots. Forsberg is at a 7-6-4 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Kings' next game is Tuesday versus the Rangers, and it doesn't look like Darcy Kuemper has lost control of the No. 1 job yet despite some recent mediocre play, so expect Forsberg to remain in the backup role.

Set to start Saturday Forsberg will play in goal on the road versus the Ducks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Forsberg is making his first start in four games. The 33-year-old has watched Darcy Kuemper fail to record a win in the last three contests, so the door could be open for Forsberg to push into a timeshare with a good performance here. He's 7-6-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 17 outings this season.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Collects shootout win Forsberg stopped 21 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

Impact Forsberg wasn't able to make a third-period lead stick, but he turned aside Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the shootout to come away with the win. Forsberg has just three wins over his last nine outings, allowing 21 goals on 222 shots in that span. For the season, he's up to 7-6-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 17 appearances (15 starts). Darcy Kuemper has struggled since returning from an upper-body injury, so the opportunity may be there for Forsberg to get more time if he can consistently earn wins. The Kings' next game is Monday at home versus the Stars.

Slated to start Saturday Forsberg is expected to defend the road net against Edmonton on Saturday, per Jared Shafran of LA Kings Insider.

Impact Even though he made a relief appearance in Friday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, the Kings still plan to turn to Forsberg for the second half of the team's back-to-back. He has posted a 6-6-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 16 appearances. Edmonton is tied for fourth in the league with 3.39 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Works third period Friday Forsberg stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Forsberg played the third period for his first action over five games in January. Darcy Kuemper has struggled since returning from an upper-body injury, but Forsberg's play wasn't all that special during Kuemper's absence. On the season, Forsberg is 6-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 16 appearances. Both of the Kings' goalies are clear fades heading into Saturday's road matchup versus the Oilers.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten four times Monday Forsberg stopped 21 of 25 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.

Impact Forsberg has been elevated to the No. 1 role between the posts due to the absence of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) but hasn't been playing well, allowing three or more goals in four of his last six starts. Over that stretch, the 33-year-old veteran has gone 2-4-0 with a 2.67 GAA and a .907 save percentage. The lack of support from the offense has been a huge issue for the Kings every time Forsberg is guarding the crease.

Expected to face Colorado Forsberg is slated to start on the road against Colorado, per Zach Dooley on LA Kings Insider.

Impact Forsberg stopped 25 of 26 shots en route to a 6-1 win over Anaheim on Saturday. After that victory, he's 6-5-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 14 outings this season. The Avalanche are an extremely tough adversary, ranking first in goals per game with 3.97 in 2025-26. Colorado is even stronger at home with its 15-0-2 record and average of 4.41 goals per game.
