Scoring pace lagging this season Forsling scored a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over Ottawa.

Impact He lofted a shot from inside the blue line that Linus Ullmark should have had. It was Forsling's first goal in 10 games, and his eighth in 57 games this season (21 points).

That may help some managers. Or not.
