Anton Forsberg - NHL News & Rumors

Downs former team in OT Forsberg made 28 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Facing the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2014-15, Forsberg wasn't at his sharpest, but he got just enough support to escape Columbus with a win. The veteran netminder has allowed four or more goals in four of seven outings since the beginning of February, going 2-3-1 with a 3.52 GAA and .886 save percentage.

In goal against Jackets Forsberg will be between the pipes on the road versus Columbus on Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Forsberg has underwhelmed of late, going 1-3-0 with a 3.57 GAA and one shutout in his last five outings. With the 33-year-old backstop getting the nod Monday, Darcy Kuemper figures to guard the cage for Tuesday's road clash with the Bruins in the second leg of the Kings' back-to-back.

Gives up three goals Forsberg stopped 35 of 38 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.

Impact Forsberg has been struggling of late, and while Monday's game was a tough test, he was still beaten three times, though his .921 save percentage suggests his performance wasn't all that bad. The Swedish netminder has racked up three losses in his last five outings, and that includes the 8-1 loss to the Oilers in which he allowed four goals in relief. Forsberg owns a 3.45 GAA and .894 save percentage in four appearances since the league resumed following the Olympics.

Set to start Monday Forsberg will be between the home pipes Monday against the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.

Impact Forsberg is coming off his best performance of the season -- he posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over Calgary. Prior to that game, he had allowed at least four goals in three straight appearances, a stretch in which he went 0-2-0 with a 5.20 GAA and an .809 save percentage. The 33-year-old will have his hands full Monday against the league's top team, as the Avalanche rank first in the NHL in both goals per game (3.79) and shots per game (34.2).

Posts 29-save shutout Forsberg posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Forsberg earned a win for the first time since Jan. 27, when he stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Red Wings, and this was a much-needed outcome for the 33-year-old. Forsberg allowed four goals on 22 shots in the 8-1 loss to the Oilers the last time out and had suffered three defeats (one in overtime) in his previous three February appearances. He heads into March owning a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage since the beginning of January, so his performances have been better than what the eye test indicates in that span.

Forsberg makes 29 saves, the Kings beat the Flames 2-0 to end a 5-game losing streak

Slated to face Calgary Forsberg is expected to start at home against Calgary on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Forsberg is 0-2-1 with a 4.54 GAA and an .843 save percentage across his past four appearances with the Kings. That's dropped him to 8-9-5 with a 2.80 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 24 outings with Los Angeles in 2025-26. The Flames are a subpar 24-27-6 this campaign, but they've gone 3-1-0 over their past four games while outscoring opponents 13-10.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Makes relief appearance Thursday Forsberg stopped 18 of 22 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Forsberg fared only a little better than Kuemper, who stopped 11 of 15 shots. This outing didn't lead to a decision for Forsberg, who is winless over his last four games while allowing 16 goals on 102 shots in that span. For the season, he has a 2.80 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 24 appearances. The Kings haven't gotten reliable goaltending from either netminder recently, which could turn this crease situation into a timeshare until one of Forsberg or Kuemper gets on track.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

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. Vegas earned a 5-2 win over Vancouver on Wednesday, which ended the Golden Knights' five-game losing streak (0-3-2).

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.
