Produces assist Forsling notched a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

Impact Forsling recorded four helpers over five games in the first round. The defenseman also has nine shots on net, nine hits, 11 blocks and plus-5 rating in the postseason. Forsling continues to be a key defenseman for the Panthers and should see top-four minutes throughout the playoffs.

Snags helper in Game 1 Forsling registered an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Forsling is currently stuck in a 17-game goal drought but has chipped in eight helpers over that stretch, including three in his last four appearances. While the blueliner was dropped from the power play in favor of Aaron Ekblad, he should still be in the mix for regular minutes and should provide decent offensive upside.

Good to go Forsling (illness) will be back in action Tuesday versus the Bruins, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Forsling is expected to return to a top-four role following his two-game absence. The 27-year-old Swede racked up seven points through his last eight games before missing time due to an illness.

Out Sunday Forsling (illness) will not play Sunday against the Flyers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Forsling was a game-time call but will ultimately miss his second straight game. The 27-year-old has 10 goals and 35 points through 68 games this season. As of now, it seems likely that he'll be ready in time for Tuesday's matchup with the Bruins.

Questionable for Sunday Forsling is dealing with an illness and is questionable to play Sunday versus the Flyers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Forsling missed Saturday's game versus the Rangers, but the Panthers didn't provide an explanation until after the contest. If Forsling remains out Sunday, Tobias Bjornfot will likely stay in the lineup.

Won't play Saturday Forsling (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against the Rangers, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Forsling has 10 goals, 35 points, 41 PIM, 91 hits and 92 blocks in 68 contests this season. Tobias Bjornfot might make his Panthers debut Saturday because of Forsling's absence.

Growth in game on full display Forsling picked up two assists in a 5-1 win over the Flames on Saturday.

Impact Forsling got the primary helper on goals 1:43 apart in the second period. He has 34 points, including 10 goals, in 64 games this season and has delivered 34 or more points in three consecutive seasons. It's an impressive evolution for Forsling, who came to the Panthers after being claimed off waivers from the Hurricanes in Jan. 2021. Now, he has become one of the most complete defenders in the NHL, a difference-making penalty killer and the team's leading scorer from the back end. And he leads the NHL with a plus-47 rating, some 14 points better than second-place Quinn Hughes. That kind of steady is valuable in many formats.

Inks eight-year deal Forsling agreed to terms on an eight-year, $46 million contract with Florida on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Forsling is on exactly the same pace as he was last season when he set personal bests in goals (13) and assists (28), so he should be capable of replicating those numbers this year. The 27-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power-play opportunities, so the bulk of his production has to come at even strength. Still, with a long-term deal in hand, Forsling should continue to offer decent mid-range value for fantasy players.

Snags two helpers Forsling earned a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Forsling's two points saw him reach the 30-point threshold for the third consecutive season despite limited production or opportunities with the man advantage. It will be a stretch for the 27-year-old Swede to match his 2022-23 production when he recorded a personal best 41 points.
