Anton Forsberg - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

Starting against St. Louis Forsberg will be between the road pipes against the Blues on Friday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Although Leevi Merilainen drew the road start in Dallas on Thursday in the first half of a back-to-back set, Forsberg will return the crease for the first time since Dec. 8 after missing time with a lower-body injury. Forsberg made 11 appearances prior to his absence, posting a 4-6-0 record, 2.95 GAA and .889 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup during his first game back in action, as the Blues are averaging just 2.69 goals this season, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Activated Thursday Forsberg (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday and will be the backup goaltender in Dallas, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg has missed the last nine games. He is 4-6-0 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.95 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 11 outings this season. He will back up Leevi Merilainen on Thursday and will get the majority of starts until Linus Ullmark returns to action from a back injury.

Won't travel with Sens Forsberg (undisclosed) won't travel with the Senators on their upcoming road trip and remains without a timeline for return, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact The Senators will be without their backup netminder as they start a nine-game road trip Tuesday in Seattle. Leevi Merilainen was recalled from AHL Belleville to serve as Linus Ullmark's backup in Forsberg's absence.

Likely to miss time Forsberg's undisclosed injury that he sustained Saturday is bad enough that the Senators will need to recall a goaltender from AHL Belleville, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Forsberg was hurt in the gym prior to the contest. He likely won't be ready for Tuesday's game in Seattle since the Senators are opting for a transaction, but the move hasn't been announced yet. If Forsberg is forced to miss a week or more, he could be placed on injured reserve.

Will not start after all Forsberg won't start at home versus the Penguins as previously reported, with Linus Ullmark instead getting the nod, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Ullmark will surprisingly start both halves of the Senators' back-to-back. Forsberg will have to wait for another chance to end a skid that has seen him lose four of five starts with 16 goals allowed in that span.

Set to start versus Penguins Forsberg will protect the home goal versus the Penguins on Saturday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Linus Ullmark picked up a shutout Friday versus the Hurricanes, and Forsberg will get the second half of the back-to-back. Forsberg has lost four of his last five outings, giving up 16 goals on 116 shots in that span. The Penguins have turned things around recently, winning four of their last six games and scoring at least five goals in each of those victories.

Suffers another defeat Forsberg gave up three goals and stopped nine shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 51 seconds left in the third period.

Impact Forsberg made his first start since a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Nov. 30, and he had another subpar performance. He has posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in his last five appearances, going 1-4-0 with a 3.26 GAA and an .862 save percentage in that span.

In goal Sunday Forsberg will protect the home net versus the Islanders on Sunday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Forsberg will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Linus Ullmark played in Saturday's 3-1 win over Nashville. The 32-year-old Forsberg has a 4-5-0 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. The Islanders rank 28th in the league with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25 and won 4-3 versus Carolina on Saturday.

Crowned in loss Forsberg made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday.

Impact He allowed four goals. Forsberg is a middling option in net, even in daily formats. While he does have two shutouts this season, he's 4-5-0 with a 2.93 GAA and .896 save percentage. The Sens have struggled to win this season and sit just two points from bottom of the Eastern Conference. And they're 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. Forsberg will be a tough activation unless the team in front of him takes a big step forward. He can't carry them (or your fantasy squad).

Impact Forsberg is coming off a 24-save effort in a 4-3 win over Calgary on Monday. He has a 4-4-0 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .901 save percentage across nine appearances this season. The Kings earned a 2-1 win over Anaheim on Friday and sit 16th in the league with 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gets win over Calgary Forsberg stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Impact He allowed a goal in each period, but the Senators' power play cashed in twice to support Forsberg in his first win since Nov. 2. The 31-year-old netminder has either been excellent or middling at times -- he's 4-4-0 with two of his wins coming via shutout, but he's allowed at least three goals in seven of nine appearances. That puts him at a 2.79 GAA and a .901 save percentage this season. Forsberg shouldn't have to wait long for his next start, as the Senators are set for a three-game road trip through California, which includes a back-to-back in Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday.
