MARCH 21, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Defeats Flyers Forsberg stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact Jamie Drysdale and Rodrigo Abols each scored game-tying goals in the second period, but the Senators were able to support Forsberg and take the lead for good by the end of the frame. The 32-year-old netminder hadn't played since a Feb. 22 relief appearance versus the Canadiens. Forsberg is now at 9-10-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. Linus Ullmark will likely be back between the pipes to face his former team Thursday when the Senators host the Bruins.

Drawing start in Philadelphia Forsberg will occupy the road crease Tuesday against the Flyers, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg will make his 23rd appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- the Swedish netminder holds an 8-10-1 record, .895 save percentage and 2.82 GAA across 22 outings. This will be Forsberg's first start since Feb. 6, though he made an appearance Feb. 22 in relief of Linus Ullmark, who has drawn the bulk of the starts lately while Ottawa attempts to make the postseason for the first time since 2016-17. Tuesday's game is the second half of a back-to-back for the Sens, while the Flyers last played Sunday in a 3-1 home loss to New Jersey.

Perfect in relief Saturday Forsberg stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Linus Ullmark in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact The Canadiens eased up after Forsberg entered the contest, and he held up well. The 32-year-old is 4-2-0 with 16 goals allowed on 195 shots over his last eight outings, good for a .918 save percentage in that span. For the season, he's 8-10-1 with a 2.82 GAA and an .895 save percentage, which are fine numbers for a backup. It's unclear when Forsberg might start again -- the Senators have no back-to-backs over the next week while alternating between strong and weak opponents across the next four games. Ullmark has struggled lately while Forsberg has been steady, which may influence head coach Travis Green's plans between the pipes in the near term.

Impact He allowed four goals. The loss snapped Forsberg's personal three-game win streak. He's now 8-10-1 in 20 starts with a 2.89 GAA and .893 save percentage. You need the perfect moment and a dash of luck to put Forsberg in your daily lineup.

Lightning beat Senators 5-1 to sweep 2-game series in Florida

Brandon Hagel scored the go-ahead goal for the second consecutive game, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning beat Ottawa 5-1 on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set with the Senators

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Set to start against Tampa Bay Forsberg was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Lightning.

Impact Forsberg and Linus Ullmark have alternated starts for nearly two weeks, and that trend will continue during the Senators' penultimate game before the league's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Forsberg has been productive over his last three starts, going 3-0-0 with a 2.32 GAA and .923 save percentage, but he'll face a tough test Thursday, as the Lightning are averaging 3.46 goals per game this season, which is the third-best mark in the NHL.

Nabs third straight win Forsberg made 25 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The veteran netminder continued a surge that began in mid-January while Linus Ullmark was sidelined by a back issue. Forsberg has won three straight starts, and over his last six outings he's gone 4-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and .923 save percentage. With about a month to go until the NHL trade deadline, Forsberg could be making himself a very enticing target for a contender looking for depth in the crease. He'll be a free agent in the offense, and Leevi Merilainen's stellar play during Ullmark's absence would seem to make Forsberg expendable.

Starting in Nashville Forsberg will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Forsberg has won his last two outings, stopping 59 of 64 shots. He has a 7-9-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.87 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Nashville sits 30th in the league with 2.61 goals per game in 2024-25. Linus Ullmark (back) will occupy the backup role and could start Tuesday's road matchup versus Tampa Bay after missing the last 18 games.

Back in win column Forsberg turned aside 31 of 35 shots faced During Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

Impact Forsberg withstood a late comeback by the Capitals to force the overtime frame and held on long enough for Thomas Chabot to pot the game-winner. The 32-year-old has victories in three of his last four starts working in tandem with Leevi Merilainen while Linus Ullmark (back) remains on the injured list.

First goalie off Thursday Forsberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Washington.

Impact Forsberg has been seeing the bulk of the workload for Ottawa of late, appearing in four of the last five contests in which he posted a 2-1-0 record, 1.70 GAA and .935 save percentage. Still, with Linus Ullmark (back) poised to return soon, perhaps even serving as the No. 2 Thursday, Forsberg will likely find himself sharing the crease, at best, if not fully relegated to the backup role.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing best hockey of season Forsberg made 28 saves for the Senators in a 2-1 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Impact In his last three games, Forsberg has allowed just three goals, one in each contest (2-1-0). And he's done it against the Devils, Bruins and Maple Leafs -- that's impressive. Forsberg hasn't put together a string of great performances since Oct. 19 - Nov. 2 when he went 3-1-0 including two shutouts. But he allowed eight goals in the other two contests. Leevi Merilainen has been playing well alongside Forsberg, and it looks like the young Finn is really pushing the Swede to up his game. Forsberg could end up providing sneaky fantasy value over the second half when Linus Ullmark (back) returns. Or in a support role on a contender after a potential trade. Monitor closely, especially for daily formats.
